What Influences Mosquito Activity in L’Étang des Caps?

Several factors influence mosquito populations in L’Étang des Caps. The island's cool maritime climate and frequent fog can reduce mosquito numbers compared to mainland areas. However, the presence of freshwater pools and marshy areas near the coast creates ideal breeding grounds. Key influencers include:

Temperature: Warmer months boost mosquito reproduction.
Humidity: High moisture levels sustain mosquito life.
Local vegetation: Dense shrubs provide shelter.

Understanding these factors is crucial, especially when exploring natural sites like the nearby Cap Rouge. For more insights, visit the Canadian Mosquito Control Association which offers detailed information on mosquito ecology.
