Miami summer is mosquito season. This year has been hot and humid as the devil’s elbow. The conditions are perfect for these little flying demons, even in the most meticulously maintained suburban yards.

Container mosquitoes can lay eggs in almost any container that can hold standing water. According to the University of Florida , these little mosquitoes can be found all across the state. They build their nests in everything that has water after a heavy rain, including old tires, tree knots, garden bromeliads, and tree knots.

Florida has fifteen container mosquito species. Eleven of these are native to Florida. Four of them were brought here via international migration or trade. One species, an Asian tiger mosquito was introduced to the U.S. through international used-tire sale.
