Why Mosquitoes Surge During the Monsoon – And How to Stop Them

Monsoon rains relieve the summer heat, but it also means you have to contend with more mosquitoes. This monsoon season, don’t let these little pests take over your home and health. During this time of year, at MA Pest Control LLP, we start to see a noticeable increase of calls for mosquito-related services, and it’s no accident.

🌧️ Why Mosquitoes Increase During Monsoon

The monsoon brings ideal conditions for mosquitoes:

• Stagnant Water:

Clogged drains, over-watered flower pots, standing buckets and rooftop tanks all provide ideal breeding locations for mosquitoes.

• Hight Humidity:

Warm humid air speeds up mosquito breeding cycles and speeds up the hatching of eggs into adults.

• Shelter Indoors:

Heavy rain storms will drive mosquitoes indoors to find refuge in dark, unbothered areas of your home like beneath furniture or in curtains.

🦟 The Real Danger: Dengue & Malaria

Mosquito proliferation isn’t just inconvenient-it’s life-threatening. Two of the deadliest mosquito-borne diseases peak during the monsoon season:  

🦠 Dengue

• Caused by a bite from the Aedes aegypti mosquito.

• Aedes aegypti prefer day time biting, but are usually active early morning and late afternoon.

• Common symptoms include fever and body ache while in severe cases you will experience vomiting with bleeding and/or low platelets.

🦠 Malaria

• Caused by a bite from the Anopheles mosquito. Anophelene mosquitoes are usually nocturnal.

• Your symptoms of malaria include high fever with chills and vomiting.

• Do nothing and malaria can kill you. Both of these diseases are common to metropolitan comparisons such as Kolkata, Ranchi, Siliguri and Cooch Behar, especially in the monsoon season.
