Understanding the Mosquito Life Cycle
Mosquitoes are small flies with specialized mouthparts that allow them to sip plant nectar and feed on the blood of warm-blooded animals. They undergo four distinct life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Remarkably, this full life cycle can take as little as ten days.
Female mosquitoes lay their eggs in pools of stagnant water. After hatching, the larvae remain in the water as they develop into pupae. Once they reach adulthood, mosquitoes leave the water and continue the cycle.
The only reliable way to eliminate mosquitoes in all stages of life is with professional mosquito control. Partnering with Epcon Lane ensures your Cleveland home stays mosquito-free, giving you peace of mind outdoors.
The Dangers of Mosquito Bites
Despite their small size, mosquitoes can cause serious problems. Worldwide, they are responsible for over one million deaths each year. While mosquito-borne fatalities are rare in the United States, it’s still important to be aware of the diseases mosquitoes can carry, including:
- West Nile virus
- Zika virus
- Chikungunya
- Malaria
- Dengue
Reducing mosquito populations around your home is key to protecting your family. Professional mosquito control treatments from Epcon Lane help keep these pests at bay so you can enjoy your outdoor spaces safely.

Many homeowners try DIY mosquito control methods such as citronella candles or outdoor fans. While these may reduce your chances of being bitten, they rarely address the root of the problem: the mosquito population itself.
