Like the Culex mosquito, the Aedes mosquito has a life cycle with 4 stages. However, in this case, the larvae of the Aedes mosquito are specialised in clear water held in small containers filled with rainwater or after watering indoor or outdoor for example tree trunks, dried leaves or even man-made containers such as old tyres, flower vasks, potted plants containers, jugs, dishes, ashtrays, buckets and etc. Aedes eggs could withstand dry environment for up to 6 months before water exist again. And by then the eggs can hatch within just 2 hours!

Like the Culex mosquito, only the females bite to get blood and use it for the development of their eggs. A female Aedes mosquito can produce about 80 new mosquitoes in a week (of which 50 percent will be females and will also bite). However, the Aedes mosquito is more aggressive than the common one and its bites are almost painless and most of the time you don't even feel it, that is why this is a very advanced evolution of adaption. Furthermore, unlike the common mosquitoes, this mosquito bites throughout the daytime, particularly in the early morning & evening.

The larvae of Aedes mosquito grow in water in small containers (jugs, dishes, ashtrays and buckets outdoors).

The Aedes mosquito is an invasive species from Asia that was detected for the first time in Europe in 1979, in Albania.

A female mosquito can produce between 80-150 eggs each time after a blood meal.

The Aedes mosquito is also known as Asian Tiger mosquito. It is a striking insect about 5 mm long, with a black body crossed by white rings, hence the name "tiger".

The Aedes mosquito lives comfortably in peri-urban environments, on the outskirts of and even within the cities.

Aedes mosquito eggs withstand dry conditions and can last for several months in a dormant condition (called diapause), which enables them to survive during dry and waterless environments.

Unlike the Culex mosquito, the Aedes mosquito bites also during the daytime.

The bites of the Aedes mosquito are less painful, less noticeable and can even pierce clothing.

The Aedes mosquito can fly as far as 750m from its breeding ground (water-filled cavities).

Remove and/or clean any containers regularly that hold water to prevent the larvae from growing. As the Aedes mosquito likes to breed in clear stangnant water, this is the best way to control the mosquito near homes and offices.

Use proper procedures for the storage, transportation and recycling of used tires.

Eliminate any reservoirs for reproduction of the mosquito such as containers, flowerpots, cans or any other utensil in which the water is not changed at least every week.

Dry puddles or anywhere where water may collect for long periods. Strongly recommended to do routine aerosol fogging indoor once a week, to break those life cycle that breed in your home.

On a daily basis, use aerosol to instantly kill mosquitoes that are already present in your home and follow-up by a repellent product such as liquid, mat/gel mat, paper, coil, or gel to continuously repel and protect against other mosquitoes from entering your home.
