Mosquitoes are best known for the habits of feeding on blood to help generate their eggs. Their immature stages usually are located in standing( preferably stagnant) water. The larvae feed on variety of things. Most consume tiny aquatic organisms. However, some species are predatory and will consume other mosquitoes. Adult mosquitoes prefer to be most active from dusk until dawn in dark shady areas. Most of the time they are not active in the sunshine. Males have antennas they use to locate females

After mating, females typically seek a blood meal to aid in egg production. She often lays them in standing water. The greatest way to prevent the spread of mosquito-borne disease is the removal of standing water around the homes Be sure to clean out gutters, bird baths, water bowls, and any other standing water near your home regularly.

Empty items around the house that hold water, especially old tires. Other measures include filling holes in your yard, trees, and other areas that may hold water, and putting screens or other covers over rain barrels; and repairing leaking outdoor faucets. 

After a good rain, empty all containers that collect standing water, such as flowerpots, toys, buckets, etc. Early recommends such as making sure your home has screened windows, wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors (particularly early morning and early evening hours) and applying mosquito repellent to exposed skin areas.
