Are There Mosquitoes in Florida During the Day?

It’s common to be bitten by mosquitoes in Florida when the sun goes down.

There are two daytime-feeding mosquitoes in Florida. These tiny offenders are the Asian tiger mosquito and Yellow Fever mosquito. While they can and do feed during the day, you will probably be able to avoid them on the hottest, sunniest days unless you trying to enjoy the shade. These two mosquitoes are responsible for the spread of diseases, like Zika, chikungunya, dengue, and West Nile virus.

Most mosquitoes feed from dusk till dawn, but they are still around during the day. They seek shelter from the sun to avoid dehydration, which doesn’t bode well for their intrinsic urge to reproduce. Unfortunately, for female mosquitoes to be able to reproduce, they must first take a blood meal. Many times, that is you, your kids, or you pet.

Is Florida the worst state for mosquitoes?

There are lots of mosquitoes in Florida, but ours is not the worst state for mosquitoes. A few online sources rank Florida in the top three, however. And because Florida experienced locally transmitted Malaria in 2023, more and more residents are turning to a local mosquito control company for help.
