Climate change is the main reason. Warm weather is lingering into October and even November.

Interestingly, floodwater mosquitoes can lay their eggs in moist soil or containers above the water line, as per the CDC.

Moist soil is a breeding ground for these pests; I recall visiting a park with wood chips and soil underneath, where the mosquitoes were incredibly prevalent. We had to leave almost immediately, as walking just a short distance would stir up dozens of them.

These pests are unlikely to perish until the temperature drops significantly.

The culprit behind the mosquito infestation is the Asian tiger mosquito, which targeted my exposed hands and face even when I was fully covered.

The mosquitoes are quite large, and their bites feel like a firm chomp; when I see them, I'm reminded of the movie Jumanji.

The mosquitoes are quick and agile, making them more challenging to eliminate.
