  • What is the lifecycle of a mosquito?

    The mosquito lifecycle begins with females laying hundreds of eggs near water every few days. These eggs hatch within 48 hours, producing larvae that live in water and molt four times. The larvae then become pupae, developing into adults over four days. Adult males live 3-5 days, while females can survive 1-2 months, focusing on mating and feeding.
  • What is the lifecycle of a tick?

    Ticks progress through four life stages over three years: egg, larvae, nymph, and adult. They typically feed on three different hosts during this time. Larvae feed on small animals, then transform into nymphs. Nymphs become active in spring, seeking larger hosts. In fall, adult ticks seek their final host. Female ticks survive winter, lay eggs in spring, then die, completing the cycle.
  • What is the lifecycle of a flea?

    Fleas develop through four stages: eggs, larval, pupal, and adult. Females lay 4-8 eggs that hatch in 1-12 days. The larval stage lasts 4-18 days, followed by the pupal stage, which can last from 3 days to a year. After emerging as adults, fleas immediately seek food sources. Warmer climates typically accelerate flea development to adulthood.
