Mosquitoes will first begin to appear in early spring. They are acclimatised to warm but damp conditions. Once mosquitoes begin to appear they will breed quite rapidly. A female mosquito can lay between 100 to 200 eggs at a time. They can also repeat this cycle every 3-4 nights, therefore covering a wide area quickly. 

On a daily basis the times that mosquitoes will be most active is at dusk and at dawn. This is in line with their internal body clock.

From early spring mosquitoes will remain prevalent until Autumn, usually around September/October when the temperature becomes cool again. 

In the UK mosquitoes don’t pose as much of a health threat as in other parts of the world. However, this does not mean that they pose no risk . Both male and female mosquitoes feed from plant nectar, although only the females blood feed. This means it is only the female capable of causing infection and spreading disease. Luckily in the UK, this means that a mosquito is more of an inconvenience than a health risk.

Mosquitoes have been recorded as carrying diseases such as Malaria, West Nile Virus, Dengue Fever and Zika Virus as well as many other diseases too. Whilst this is true of mosquitoes, which disease they might carry can depend heavily on geographical location, and not all mosquito species are capable of transmission.

As a rule of thumb it is very rare for someone, in the UK, to contract a disease through mosquito-based infection.
