Can Mosquitoes Survive in Winter?

❄️ The Short Answer: Yes – Some Do

While cold weather kills off adults, many species hibernate through winter as eggs or larvae.

🧬 How They Do It

  • Eggs: Laid in damp soil or gutters, they hatch when spring temperatures rise.

  • Larvae: Survive under ice in ponds.

  • Adults: Shelter in basements, sheds, or lofts waiting for warmth.

🏠 Why You Might Still See Them

Modern homes stay warm — ideal for overwintering mosquitoes. If you’ve spotted one in December, that’s likely why.

🧴 Winter Prevention Checklist

✅ Empty water trays & gutters.
✅ Spray curtains & upholstery with Camo® Aerosol Spray.
✅ Use Camo® Bracelets when travelling to warmer regions.

🌿 Even in winter, one bite can hitch a ride home — stay prepared year-round.
