Marsh and floodwater mosquitoes
Mosquito Control in Kissimmee
The cattail mosquito, Coquillettidia perturbans, grows in permanent freshwater marsh with its larvae clamped to the roots of cattails and other aquatic plants, out of reach of ordinary larvicides. UF/IFAS calls the females persistent, painful biters able to fly up to five miles, most numerous from June through September. Culex nigripalpus hatches from freshly flooded ditches after storms. Osceola County Mosquito Control logs residents' service requests.
