Why Mosquitoes Thrive in Mountain View

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Mountain View. The city's Mediterranean climate—with mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers—creates ideal breeding conditions. Standing water from irrigation or rain collects in natural and man-made containers, providing breeding grounds. Additionally, the presence of wetlands near the Baylands Nature Preserve supports mosquito life cycles. Key influences include:

Seasonal rainfall patterns
Urban water management
Local vegetation and shade

Understanding these helps in managing mosquito populations effectively.
