Did you know that the Aedes albopictus (tiger) mosquito travels only short distances, typically within a 150-meter radius? This means that the mosquito biting you was likely born in your neighborhood. Particularly resilient, the tiger mosquito can lay its eggs in tiny amounts of water, even as small as a thimbleful.
These eggs can survive for several months without water, waiting for the right conditions to hatch. This makes it crucial to eliminate all sources of standing water around your home—without water, mosquitoes cannot reproduce.
Why Act Against the Tiger Mosquito?
Is not just a nuisance, it is also a vector for serious diseases such as dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever. While rare in France, these diseases can spread under certain conditions. Standing water, rich in organic matter, provides an ideal breeding ground for mosquito eggs and larvae.
Best Practices to Reduce Mosquito Proliferation
To minimize the presence of mosquitoes, and particularly tiger mosquitoe, here are some simple and effective measures:
Remove saucers from under flowerpots or replace them with models featuring anti-mosquito systems.
Cover rainwater collection tanks with mosquito nets.
Clean gutters, drains, and ditches regularly to prevent water accumulation.
Store objects such as buckets, toys, and folded tarps in dry areas, away from rain.
Maintain your garden by trimming trees, clearing dense vegetation, and removing plant debris.
By consistently applying these simple actions, you can eliminate breeding sites and significantly reduce the mosquito population around your home.
Mosquito Characteristics
Did you know that France is home to around 65 species of mosquitoes, divided into three main families: Aedes, Culex, and Anopheles? Among them, the Aedes family, particularly the tiger mosquito, is especially troublesome. Smaller and more agile than the common mosquito (Culex pipiens), they bite mainly during the day.
These diurnal mosquitoes are recognizable by their black bodies with white stripes, while the common mosquito, more active at night, has a brown body with golden stripes.
