Mosquitoes love warm temperatures, they prefer 80 degrees to ensure their body temperature remains at an adequate level. Mosquitoes are cold blooded insects so they can not regulate their own body temps. As a result, they are incapable of regulating body heat and their temperature is essentially the same as their surroundings. Mosquitoes function best at 80 degrees F, become lethargic at 60 degrees F, and cannot function below 50 degrees F. In tropical areas, mosquitoes are active year round.
