In which season are mosquitoes typically most active?

Mosquitoes are typically most active in the summer season. This is primarily due to the warm temperatures and increased humidity, which create favorable conditions for their breeding and feeding. During summer, many species of mosquitoes reach their peak populations as they take advantage of the higher availability of standing water—essential for their larvae to develop. Additionally, the increased outdoor activity during warmer months means there are more opportunities for mosquitoes to come into contact with hosts for feeding.

In contrast, winter temperatures are typically too cold for mosquitoes to remain active; they often enter a state of dormancy or hibernation. In fall, temperatures begin to drop, leading to reduced activity among mosquito populations. Spring sees an emergence of activity as temperatures rise, but it generally does not match the levels seen in the summer months. Thus, summer stands out as the season with peak mosquito activity, making the selection of this option the most accurate reflection of mosquito behavior.
