Culicidae
Slender biting flies that breed in any standing water and transmit diseases like dengue, malaria, and chikungunya across South Asia.
2–10 mm
Slender, elongated body with long legs, gray to black or brown coloring, and a piercing proboscis.
Thin, membranous, capable of near-silent flight.
Females feed on blood, attracted by body heat, sweat, CO₂, and skin odor. Males feed on plant nectar.
Most active at dawn and dusk. Drawn to warmth, moisture, and exposed skin.
Stagnant water — gutters, flowerpots, birdbaths, tires, blocked drains — plus shaded vegetation near human activity.
Major vectors of dengue, malaria, chikungunya, Zika, and West Nile virus, especially during monsoon and post-rainfall periods.

Survey the property for every standing-water source and breeding site.
Apply larvicides, residual insecticides, and barrier sprays. Eliminate standing water and install screens.
Re-treat through monsoon season and audit drainage monthly.
