Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in Kanye

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Kanye. The area's climate, characterized by a hot semi-arid environment, means mosquitoes thrive during the rainy season when standing water is abundant. Key influences include:

Rainfall patterns: More rain means more breeding sites.
