But how does climate affect the presence of mosquitoes?

"There are two basic climatic aspects that influence the proliferation of mosquitoes: temperatures and rainfall. – emphasizes Valeria Paradiso, Technical Manager of Anticimex Italia – The lower the temperatures, the longer the life cycle of mosquitoes. When average temperatures are about 25 degrees the mosquito can complete a development cycle in less than 10 days. This is why usually peaks of maximum density are usually in summer. The abundant and frequent rains that increase the level of water, determine mbadive epidemics and create many new epidemics. "
