These ain't native mosquitoes. They're Tiger mosquitoes imported from China. You can recognize them by the larger size and the black and white tiger stripes.


Native mosquito usually comes out at night. Tends to leave livestock and animals alone.


But not Tiger mosquito. They feed 24/7 and will bite anything with blood. Day, night, dry, or wet. They'll lay eggs in moist dirt and could less if there's any standing water around. Like in flower pots.


They are a plague.

That reminds me, I need to put out new Spartan Mosquito tubes.

We're treating our lawn with Orkin and they continue to knock them down good. But we also have zappers near the doors as our neighbors don't treat. So we still get them a few here / there. I'm looking at getting 2 of those Dyntraps as I've heard nothing but good things about it.
