Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Antelope

Several environmental factors influence mosquito populations in Antelope, including:
  • Standing water from recent rains or irrigation
  • Warm temperatures typical of summer months
  • Vegetation density providing shelter
The region's Mediterranean climate, with hot dry summers and wet winters, creates seasonal patterns for mosquito breeding. Additionally, proximity to water bodies like local creeks increases mosquito habitats. Understanding these factors helps locals mitigate risks by removing stagnant water and using repellents.
