Asian tiger mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus) are black with silvery white markings resembling tiger stripes on their bodies and legs. This species has one pair of scale-covered wings and an easy-to-see tube-like mouthpart called a proboscis. They’re about an eighth of an inch long.
Unfortunately, these daytime biting mosquitoes can transmit a number of diseases including Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), West Nile virus, Chikungunya, and dengue fever.
Because Asian tiger mosquitoes feed during the daylight hours (from sun-up to sun-down), you’ll probably not only see them flying around but swat at them as they try to take a blood meal. If mosquitoes are a problem on your property, you may also see (and hear) mosquitoes buzzing around flowering plants or around standing water.
Mosquitoes are attracted to properties where they can find food sources, places to breed, and resting sites. While both female and male mosquitoes feed on plant nectar, females require blood meals in order to reproduce.
They also need standing water so if your property has stagnant ditches, flower pots, spare tires, tarps, and other items that can hold even a small amount of water, you’re likely to have a mosquito problem.
Finally, these species of mosquito tend to remain at ground level and may hide under decks and shrubs.
