Monsoon and Mosquitoes are believed to have a deadly affair! Yes, trust us on this. As the monsoon sets in with all its glory, mosquitoes also simultaneously gear up with their gang to attack your home probably leading to mosquito infestation. They take all efforts to make your life miserable followed by their hiding places; they are very good at hiding. So, when you track one or two mosquitoes somehow, the rest of them always seem to be waiting in some other corner.
Hence, on a broader aspect you should look for a larger infestation of mosquitoes, not the ones outside your home, but those inside as well. In this rainy weather, mosquitoes are much worse inside our home, trying to make every corner their resting place and in turn attacking us when they are hungry. Sounds scary, isn’t it? So, as a step towards fighting your battle against mosquitoes, you need to start tracking them and look for all signs of mosquito infestation in and around your house.
How to track mosquitoes or signs of mosquito infestation
- Standing water: If there is standing water in your surrounding then you are sure to have an encounter with mosquitoes. Female mosquitoes ideally lay their eggs in water for them to survive.
- Humid Weather: Humid weather with high temperature makes favourable condition for mosquitoes to hang around.
- Buzzing sounds : Annoying buzzing sounds of mosquitoes.
- Dim and shady areas: Dim and shady areas are the places where you can spot these mosquitoes. So, take care when you plan to take a walk in the woods next time, you might be inviting those blood suckers to your home on your way back!

- Come out at night: Mosquitoes usually come out at night, but when your home is mosquito infested, you might see them lingering in the evening too.
- Hovering in the kitchen: You find them hovering over your food, fruits etc. anywhere in the kitchen.
- Eggs in moist soil : You will be surprised to know that some species of mosquitoes lay their eggs in moist soil and hatch whenever the soil is flooded with water.
