Nothing makes the mosquitos swarm like warm weather and moisture, including rain and standing water.

Mosquitos also tend to hover in tall grasses or hedges to stay cool during the day. In general, the National Weather Service is predicting normal or below-normal rainfall this year, but just a few heavy rains can dramatically increase the mosquito population from June through August, according to the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District based in St. Paul.

If the conditions are right, they can swarm and leave several itchy bites within minutes. It's that easy for your backyard party or corporate event to become an uncomfortable place.
