Why Mosquitoes Thrive in Bilston

Several factors influence mosquito activity around Bilston. The town's temperate maritime climate means mild winters and warm summers, perfect for mosquito breeding. Stagnant water in garden ponds, ditches, and the nearby canal system creates ideal larval habitats. Additionally, urban green spaces like the Bilston Town Park offer shaded, humid environments where mosquitoes can rest. Here's what contributes most to mosquito presence:

Warm temperatures from May to September
Standing water in natural and man-made containers
Dense vegetation providing shelter

Managing these factors can reduce mosquito numbers significantly. Learn more about controlling local mosquito populations from the UK Health Security Agency.
