🌧️ Why Mosquitoes Boom After Rain in Central Virginia
If you’ve ever stepped outside after a summer storm in Central Virginia and instantly swatted at buzzing mosquitoes, you’re not alone. Mosquitoes after the rain in Central Virginia are a serious nuisance—and a health risk.
Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water. After a rainstorm, these breeding sites pop up everywhere:
-
Birdbaths
-
Flowerpots
-
Clogged gutters
-
Wheelbarrows and tarps
-
Puddles and lawn depressions
In warm, humid regions like Central Virginia, mosquito eggs can hatch within 48 hours, causing a population spike almost overnight. Learn more with CDC; Prevent Mosquito Breeding After Rain
