Los Angeles Has the Most Mosquitoes in the Nation — Here's What You Can Do About It

As the owner of losangelestermite, I’ve spent years helping Los Angeles homeowners deal with all kinds of pests. But recent data confirms what many of our customers have already noticed: Los Angeles now has more mosquitoes than any other U.S. city.

According to the latest report featured on KTLA and based on nationwide pest control trends, mosquito activity in LA has surged past every other metropolitan area in the country. That’s not just a summer annoyance — it’s a serious health and comfort issue that all Angelenos should take seriously.

At losangelestermitewe don’t just handle termites — we offer expert mosquito control solutions tailored specifically to Southern California’s climate and conditions.

Why Mosquitoes Are Out of Control in LA

So what’s causing this mosquito explosion in Los Angeles? A combination of factors:

• Warm climate and extended breeding seasons: Mild winters and hot summers allow mosquitoes to stay active almost all year.

• Urban water sources: Everything from clogged gutters to planters, birdbaths, fountains, and even leaky sprinklers can provide mosquitoes with the standing water they need to reproduce.

• Dense population: More people means more carbon dioxide, which attracts mosquitoes — especially in crowded neighborhoods and apartment complexes.

• Climate change: Irregular weather patterns, including short bursts of rain, create perfect puddling conditions where mosquitoes lay eggs.

This spike in mosquito numbers puts Los Angeles residents at greater risk for vector-borne diseases like West Nile Virus, Dengue, and Zika — which have all been detected in California in recent years.

Why This News Should Concern Every LA Resident

Being named the mosquito capital of the U.S. isn’t a title we should ignore. It means more than just itching and buzzing — it could mean:

• Increased disease risk for families and pets

• Disrupted outdoor lifestyles, from backyard BBQs to kids playing outside

• Expensive medical bills if mosquito-borne illnesses spread more widely

The key is early intervention — and a trusted partner who knows LA’s unique mosquito patterns inside and out.
