One female mosquito may lay 100 to 300 eggs at a time and may average 1,000 to 3,000 offsprings during her life span.

Both male and female mosquitoes are nectar feeders; this culicine mosquito is a female that probably would need a blood meal as well to produce her maximal yield of eggs.

The average life span of a female mosquito is 3 to 100 days, the male lives 10 to 20 days.

Many methods are used for mosquito control. Depending on the situation, the most important usually include:•source reduction (e.g., removing stagnant water)•exclusion (mosquito nets and window screening)•trapping, and/or insecticides to kill larvae or adults•biocontrol (e.g. importing natural predators such as dragonflies). Like most insects, mosquitoes are a prime food source for birds, amphibians and spiders.Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquito#Control

1.Stagnant water located in birdbaths should be changed every other day.
2.Yard waste, such as lawn cuttings and raked leaves, which are present in gutters or storm drains, prevent water from flowing and harbour perfect breeding conditions for mosquitoes.
3.Low-lying depressions in lawn areas where water can collect should be filled in.

4. Leaves and twigs can block roof gutters and eaves troughs and prevent proper water drainage.
5. Compost should be turned over frequently and areas of organic matter, which provide a food source for mosquito larvae, should be collected and recycled immediately.
6. Stagnant water of any kind is another breeding area for mosquitoes.

7. Open or broken window screens and attic vents offer perfect avenues for mosquitoes to make their way into your home. Window screens should fit snugly into the frame, vents should remain closed and for further prevention, windows should also be shut during the hours of dusk and dawn.
8. Pool covers can collect water and should be emptied right away. Wading pools need to also be turned over when they are not in use.

9. Toys and other objects around the yard should be placed in an area where they won't collect rainwater.
10. Mosquitoes are often attracted to containers of standing water in wheelbarrows or tires that are left outside. To avoid this, drill holes in the bottom of containers to allow water to flow out or turn over those items that are not in use.
11. Leaky faucets should be closed tightly as water build-up can create breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
