These are the mosquitoes that we are dealing with after this last storm. Spraying did help but they are still here.

No idea. It’s my first one. I was told it may be flow, and I do have some powerheads on the way just in case. I’ll message current USA and see if they can give me tips on the light settings just in case.

Nems respond to both light and water flow. Too bright of light, it will head for shade and too much current, under a rock.

Seen eurpoean giant hornet scary no thanks on the Asian giants.

If it bites its a female. Females need blood to produce eggs. Male Mosquitoes are pollinators.

Your request shall be granted

I believe its a psorophora ciliata. I went all Roman on you

@Fin I believe why you are seeing a lot more of these is because of water. They like new water from rains and floods.

You will see the real nasty ones next if it stays warm enough. Stuff like the Asian tiger.

I think those are the ones they call saltwater marsh mosquitos here. Don't usually see those this far north. Mostly in the coastal area of Cameron Paris, but that isn't that far from here. One of my good friends used to be the head of mosquito control in Cameron Parish. He could tell me what that is for sure. The C-130 just flew over the house about 10 minutes ago, so hope that helps.

Lights...my personal observation is that white lights promote growth and blue lights promote color.

I agree
6500k is amazing spectrum to grow coral. It leaves coral brownish.

Its an educated guess

I hope so but I woudnt count on it. It kills adults but doesn't stop the largest part of population larvae and pupa. The spray is only a contact killer. Its going to have to redone every couple of weeks.

I think they spray with Naled from the planes. It is a contact killer, but only requires like one to two tablespoons per acre - or so I have read anyway. It will knock down the adults and at least give the normal mosquito control a chance to catch up. We are never totally without mosquitos though and that is why I am finally going to screen in my patio.
