Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Valley Stream

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Valley Stream. The area's proximity to water bodies, such as the Mill River and local ponds, provides breeding grounds.

Climate: Warm, humid summers boost activity
Water sources: Ponds and wetlands serve as breeding sites
