Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in Davis

Several factors contribute to the mosquito population fluctuations in Davis. The city's Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and wet winters, creates breeding conditions primarily in stagnant water sources. Key influencers include:

Temperature: Warmer temperatures accelerate mosquito life cycles.
Rainfall: Standing water after rains provides breeding grounds.
Urban water sources: Irrigation and water features in local parks.

Understanding these elements helps residents manage their environments. For instance, regularly emptying containers or checking irrigation systems near your home can reduce mosquito habitats. Learn more about how climate impacts mosquitoes on the CDC’s climate and health page.
