Mosquitoes in Houston & Whatâs Really HappeningâŚâŚRain doesnât wash mosquitoes awayâit helps them multiply. Hereâs why:
1ď¸âŁ Rain Creates New Breeding Grounds
Every puddle, clogged gutter, flower pot, or low spot in your yard can become a mosquito nursery. In Houston heat, eggs can hatch in as little as 24â48 hours.
2ď¸âŁ Light Rain = Mosquito Boom
A steady drizzle creates the perfect environment for larvae to thrive. Thatâs why mosquito populations usually spike just a few days after rain.
3ď¸âŁ They Donât Just âGo Awayâ
Mosquitoes shelter under eaves, trees, and patios during stormsâand once the rain stops, they come right back out⌠hungry.
đ¨ You should expect mosquito activity to explode this week!!!!
