Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Bailey's Crossroads

Standing water in residential yards or natural wetlands near the Four Mile Run stream provides perfect habitats. Here's what impacts mosquito activity:

Temperature: Warmer weather accelerates mosquito life cycles.
Rainfall: More rain means more breeding sites.
Vegetation: Dense foliage offers resting spots.

Understanding these factors can help residents reduce mosquito presence by eliminating standing water and maintaining their yards. Learn more about local mosquito ecology at Virginia Department of Health.
