High-Risk Environments

Below you’ll find a list of the typical environments that foster breeding for mosquitoes in the North Milwaukee area.

  • Lakewood image Hero image

    Rural and Suburban Areas

    Features: Wooded lots, overgrown vegetation, and standing water (ponds, ditches, or temporary floodwaters).

    Why It Matters: These areas provide ideal mosquito breeding sites and shelter from wind and predators. Species Impacted:

    Aedes vexans (Inland Floodwater Mosquito): Utilizes temporary pools created by heavy rains or flooding.

    Culex pipiens (Northern House Mosquito): Prefers stagnant water commonly found in ditches or containers.

  • Wooded Areas in knoxville

    Parks, Hiking Trails, and Forested Areas

    Examples: Kettle Moraine State Forest, Bugline Trail, Hank Aaron, Pike Lake, Loew Lake, Lapham Peak, Lizard Mound State Park, Harrington Beach State Park, or any heavily wooded trail systems.

    Features: Shaded areas, high humidity, and nearby water bodies create prime mosquito habitats.

    Why It Matters: Outdoor enthusiasts are often exposed to biting mosquitoes during dawn and dusk, peak feeding times for many species.

  • women spraying garden in Knoxville

    Residential Yards with Dense Landscaping

    Features: Shrubs, bushes, and gardens that retain moisture, as well as ornamental ponds, birdbaths, and gutters that collect water.

    Why It Matters: Residential yards often provide sheltered breeding sites close to human hosts, increasing the risk of mosquito-human contact.

    Species Impacted:

    Aedes japonicus (Asian Bush Mosquito): Breeds in small, water-filled containers like flower pots and birdbaths.

    Culex pipiens: Commonly found in urban and suburban areas.

Environmental Factors Contributing to Mosquito Population

  • flooding

    Seasonal Flooding

    Heavy spring rains and snowmelt can create temporary pools, especially in floodplains and low-lying areas, which attract floodwater mosquito species like Aedes vexans.

  • standing water

    Agricultural Irrigation

    Standing water from irrigation systems or farm equipment can provide mosquito breeding sites in rural areas.

  • Wooded Areas in knoxville

    Wind Protection

    Mosquitoes avoid open, windy areas and prefer sheltered environments such as tree canopies, tall grass, and shrubs.

  • marsh

    Wetlands and Marshes

    Example: Tamarac Swamp, Cedarburg Bog, Milwaukee River Floodplain Forest, Jackson Marsh State Natural Area, Barnes Family Conservation Area

    Features: Shallow, stagnant water and dense vegetation create a perfect mosquito breeding environment.

    Why It Matters: Wetlands support large mosquito populations, particularly species like Aedes vexans and Culex pipiens, which thrive in these habitats.

  • stormdrain

    Urban Areas with Poor Drainage

    Features: Stormwater drains, poorly maintained gutters, and areas prone to flooding.

    Why It Matters: Urban environments often host species like Culex pipiens, which can transmit diseases like West Nile virus.

  • lake michigan

    Shoreline Areas and Lakefronts

    Examples: Lake Michigan shoreline, Milwaukee River, inland lakes like Pewaukee Lake or Big Cedar Lake

    Features: Shallow, slow-moving water combined with vegetation provides breeding and feeding grounds.

    Why It Matters: These areas are highly attractive to mosquitoes and can pose significant nuisances to recreational activities like boating or fishing.

Understanding their lifecycle and behavior during different times of the year can help residents and homeowners plan effective prevention and control measures.
    Why are mosquitoes more of a problem in Milwaukee?
    Milwaukee's abundant bodies of water make it a prime breeding ground for mosquitoes. Our treatments help manage mosquito populations by targeting the specific conditions that encourage their growth.

    In Milwaukee’s active mosquito season, you can typically see a noticeable decrease in mosquito activity within 24-48 hours of the first application.
    How can I prevent mosquitoes from breeding?
    Eliminate standing water: Drain birdbaths, clean gutters, and remove unused containers from your yard. Maintain landscaping: Trim bushes and grass to reduce mosquito resting areas.

    Rainstorms in Milwaukee often create standing water, which provides an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes. Our treatments target these areas to reduce mosquito populations effectively.

    Seasonality of Mosquitoes in North Shore Suburbs, Waukesha, Washington and Ozaukee Counties, Wisconsin

    • spring

      Spring (April – May)

      Key Activity: The mosquito season begins when temperatures consistently rise above 50°F in area. Breeding: Early spring rainfall creates standing water, providing ideal conditions for mosquito eggs laid the previous year to hatch.

      Common Species Active:

      Aedes triseriatus (Eastern Tree Hole Mosquito): Found in water-filled tree holes and small containers. Aedes vexans (Inland Floodwater Mosquito): Emerges in flooded areas caused by spring snowmelt or heavy rains. Behavior: Mosquito activity is moderate in spring as populations are just beginning to build.

    • summer

      Summer (June – August)

      Key Activity: Summer is the peak mosquito season in Milwaukee Suburbs, North Shore Region, Waukesha, Washington and Ozaukee counties. Breeding: Warm temperatures (above 70°F) and frequent summer rains contribute to explosive mosquito breeding, especially in areas with stagnant water such as ponds, ditches, and containers.

      Common Species Active:

      Culex pipiens (Northern House Mosquito): Thrives in stagnant water, often found in urban and suburban areas. Aedes japonicus (Asian Bush Mosquito): Adapts well to artificial water containers and rock pools. Behavior: Mosquitoes are most active during early morning and evening hours when temperatures are cooler, though some species, like Aedes mosquitoes, are active during the day. Aggressive biting behavior increases during this time, with mosquitoes targeting humans and animals.

    • fall

      Fall (September – October)

      Key Activity: Mosquito activity slows down as temperatures cool, typically below 50°F. Breeding: Fewer eggs are laid during fall, but species like Aedes triseriatus prepare for the next season by laying eggs that can survive winter in dry conditions.

      Common Species Active:

      Aedes vexans: Remains active in flood-prone areas if temperatures stay mild. Culex pipiens: Continues to breed in stagnant water but starts to go dormant as temperatures drop. Behavior: Mosquitoes are less aggressive and less active, but they may still bite on warm days or during mild fall evenings.

    • winter

      Winter (November – March)

      Key Activity: Mosquitoes are dormant during the winter months in South Eastern Wisconsin due to freezing temperatures.

      Overwintering:

      Eggs: Certain species, such as Aedes, lay hardy eggs in dry areas that survive the cold and hatch the following spring. Adults: Culex mosquitoes can overwinter as adults in sheltered areas like basements, tree holes, or cracks in buildings.
