Mosquitoes will breed in any standing fresh or brackish (salty) water. Certain species prefer different types of water and habitats. Different species will breed in containers, salt marshes, woodland pools, plants (such as bromeliads), and ditches. Mosquitoes will usually stay near their breeding areas and travel limited distances, however, they can be carried by wind miles from their breeding habitat. Pictured below are some examples of habitats where you may find mosquitoes breeding around your home.
