Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Norfolk

Several environmental and human factors influence mosquito populations in Norfolk. The city's coastal climate, with its warm summers and abundant rainfall, creates ideal breeding grounds. Standing water in places like the Elizabeth River and local marshes supports larval development. Additionally, urban areas with poor drainage contribute to mosquito proliferation. Key influences include:

Temperature and humidity levels
Availability of stagnant water
Vegetation density near residential zones

Understanding these helps in predicting mosquito surges and implementing control measures, as detailed in the Virginia Department of Health resources.
