    The mosquito, known as a lone bloodthirsty at night, will always haunt you, no matter how much people hate it. Some people are curious, how many floors can mosquitoes fly to?

    We all know that mosquitoes are a kind of near-earth insects, although they have a pair of wings, but they can only fly about 20 meters at most, Mo Jianchu, a professor at the Institute of Insect Science of Zhejiang University, said that mosquitoes belong to near-earth organisms, so they are generally mainly active in the area below 6 floors, "especially below 3 floors, mosquitoes appear the most." "After all, flying too high, the temperature and air pressure are gradually dropping, and the small body of mosquitoes can't stand the environment.

    However, on windy days, mosquitoes as pilots behave like sprinters on the track and field, and it is inevitable that the wind direction factor will be "mixed" in the results: if the wind is against the wind, no matter how "the heart is higher than the sky" mosquitoes will have a weak heart; If there is a tailwind, with the action of the updraft, the mosquito will reach an altitude of more than 100 meters as if it were riding a helicopter. Therefore, even if you live on the twentieth or thirtieth floor, the chances of "flying immortals" in your home still exist.

    However, the reality is that even if you live in a high-rise building, you can always hear mosquitoes buzzing in your ears, why is that?

    This has to mention the strong adaptability of mosquitoes. Nowadays, the houses are being built higher and higher, and the mosquitoes are beginning to keep up with the times. In the past, I could only fly in high-rise buildings on the 1st to 5th floors, but after living for a long time, I began to explore new areas upward.

    This hidden device that allows mosquitoes to fly like fish in water is an elevator in a high-rise residential building. In fact, many mosquitoes that appear above ten floors are easy to come up by elevator, the so-called "fake boat to thousands of miles" in case you miss the elevator this "free ride", some tenacious and unyielding mosquitoes will turn to the corridor, such as flying from the first floor to the fourth floor, tired to rest for a rest, and then fly up after the physical recovery, so as to achieve the goal of "how high people can live, how high we can fly". However, such cases are in the minority.

    Also, don't ignore the mosquitoes' vigorous ability to reproduce. A female mosquito can lay 1,000-3,000 eggs in her lifetime, and if you encounter a corridor with debris and stagnant water, it is the best habitat. Many mosquitoes are based on a certain floor, and they continue to multiply upwards, even the tallest buildings can go.

    Therefore, it does not mean that there are no mosquitoes if the floor is high, and if you want to completely eliminate them, you still have to pay attention to environmental hygiene!

    Mosquitoes belong to near-Earth organisms, and their flight altitude is limited, generally more than 10 or 20 meters, so they generally mainly operate in the area below 6 floors, and there are relatively few mosquitoes that can fly to high floors. It is common sense that the higher you go, the lower the density of mosquitoes. In fact, it is easy to breed mosquitoes in places with stagnant water such as basement

    If you live on the 6th floor or more and feel that there are a lot of mosquitoes, residents should pay attention to the fact that these mosquitoes do not fly up from downstairs, and it is likely that they "live in your house". Mosquitoes are inseparable from water for survival and reproduction, and all kinds of stagnant water indoors can easily become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. On the higher floors, if flowers and plants are planted and there is stagnant water, mosquitoes will reproduce naturally, which creates a "high starting point" for mosquitoes; The bottom of the bed that has not been cleaned for a long time, the wardrobe full of clothes that are not used often, and the utility room full of miscellaneous items ......These can be indoor hiding places for mosquitoes, and keeping your home tidy can reduce mosquito visits.

    Mosquitoes can generally fly up to more than 10 meters high, and high-rise residents will also be disturbed by mosquitoes, so every floor needs to be insecticides.

    The highest flight altitude of the mosquito is about 20 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a 7-story building; If you live in a relatively high position, you will also be affected by mosquitoes, because mosquitoes will appear on high floors through pipes or elevators with the help of external forces.

    Don't underestimate the ability of mosquitoes to fly and adapt to altitudes, even in buildings more than 100 meters high. Although the mosquito flies at an altitude of about 20 meters.

    If the mosquito's nest is on the 7th floor, then his highest flight altitude is the 14th floor, so even on the 14th floor or even higher floors, mosquitoes may appear. Generally, mosquitoes can fly up to 7 floors.

    This must still be the floor you live on is not high enough, under normal circumstances, the floor is more than 10 words basically can't fly, so if you want to avoid mosquito disturbance, you should live higher.

    Because mosquitoes can't fly too high, they can breed layer by floor, so there are mosquitoes on several floors. Generally, mosquitoes can fly up to 10 meters, and then they can't fly.

    This is because mosquitoes are mainly targeted based on smell, and studies have shown that mosquitoes can reach heights of up to nearly 290 meters.

    Mosquitoes are raised by flowers and plants in their own homes or upstairs, not on the ground outside.

    I live on the 32nd floor, and I'm still suffering from mosquitoes that want my whole family to be wiped out, so I don't think there's anything mosquitoes can't do.
