Aedes Mosquitoes

Mosquito Pest Control Singapore

Body Size and colour

Aedes Mosquitoes are small, typically 2-10mm long. Aedes aegypti is dark with white markings on its legs and a distinctive lyre-shaped pattern on its thorax

Habitat

Aedes mosquitoes breed in standing water often in artificial containers such as buckets, flowerpots, tires and stagnant water. They are highly adaptable and can thrive in urban environments.

Feeding

Female Aedes mosquitoes feed on blood to obtain proteins necessary for egg development. They are aggressive day biters with peak activity in the early morning and late afternoon. Males feed primarily on nectar and do not bite humans.

Reproduction

Female Aedes mosquitoes lay eggs on the walls of water-containing vessels just above the waterline. The eggs can survive dry conditions for several months when they come into contact with water. The life cycle from egg to adult can be as short as 7-10 days in ideal conditions.

Culex Mosquitoes

Body Size and colour

Culex Mosquitoes are medium sized, typically measuring 4-10mm length. Culex mosquitoes have a brown or grey body with whitish or silver scales on their wings and body.

Habitat

Culex mosquitoes breed in a variety of stagnant water sources, including ditches, ponds, marshes and artificial containers such as old tires and clogged gutters.

Feeding

Female culex mosquitoes primarily feed on blood of birds, mammals and occasionally humans to obtain the necessary proteins for egg development. Male mosquitoes feed on nectar and do not bite. They are most active during the evening and at night with peak biting activity occurring around dusk and dawn.

Reproduction

Female Culex mosquitoes lay eggs on the surface of stagnant water. The eggs hatch into larvae, which develop into pupae before emerging as adult mosquitoes.
