Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in Newmarket

Several environmental factors influence mosquito populations in Newmarket. Standing water from the many small ponds and wetlands around the Holland River watershed provides breeding grounds. Warm temperatures and high humidity during summer months accelerate mosquito life cycles. Urban development near natural habitats can also increase encounters. Key influencers include:

Temperature and humidity levels
Availability of stagnant water
Vegetation density around residential areas

Understanding these helps predict when mosquitoes will be most active and how to minimize exposure during peak times.
