? As we all know, mosquitoes are near-earth insects. Although they have a pair of wings, they can only fly about 20 meters at most. Mo Jianchu, a professor at the Institute of Insect Science, Zhejiang University, said that mosquitoes belong to near-earth creatures, so they usually mainly live in areas below 6 floors. "Especially below the third floor, mosquitoes appear the most." After all, flying too high, the temperature and air pressure are gradually decreasing, and the small mosquito can't stand that environment.
? However, on windy days, mosquitoes, as pilots, behave like sprinters in track and field, and it is inevitable to "dope" the wind direction factor in their achievements: if they are against the wind, mosquitoes "taller than the sky" will be powerless; In case of downwind, mosquitoes will reach the height of 100 meters under the action of updraft, just like in a helicopter. Therefore, even if you live on the 20th and 30th floors, there is still the possibility of "flying fairy" in your home.
However, the reality is that even if you live in a tall building, you can always hear mosquitoes buzzing in your ears. Why?
? This has to mention that mosquitoes have strong adaptability. Now the houses are built higher and higher, and mosquitoes are beginning to keep pace with the times. Before, I could only fly in a tall building with 1-5 floors. After living for a long time, I began to explore new fields. This hidden weapon that makes mosquitoes have a home at flying height is the elevator in high-rise residential buildings. In fact, many mosquitoes that appear above the tenth floor can easily get up by elevator. If you miss the elevator, some indomitable mosquitoes will move to the corridor. For example, they will fly from the first floor to the fourth floor, take a rest when they are tired, and then fly up when their physical strength is restored, realizing that "we can fly as high as people can." However, such cases are in the minority.
? In addition, don't ignore the powerful reproductive ability of mosquitoes. A female mosquito can lay 1000-3000 eggs in her lifetime. If there are litter and stagnant corridors, it is the best habitat. Many mosquitoes are based on a certain floor, constantly breeding upwards, and the tallest building can go.
? Therefore, it is not that there are no mosquitoes when the floor is high. If you want to completely eliminate them, you must pay attention to environmental hygiene!
