  1. Though mosquitoes commonly breed during the wet season, it doesn't mean that they aren't out during any other season. They are always there and would always be. Mosquito nets are a saving grace to keep those annoying insects at bay, but we have to make sure to clean the places where they are most likely to camp in. Thank you for your tips. I could use some of them after cleaning up and avoid getting bitten in the process too. Maurine Roe
