Why Alachua homes get mosquitoes

The setting around Alachua does most of the work. The sandy soil over limestone holds the moisture the pests need, the coastal plains, wetlands, and flatland offers shelter, and the subtropical and tropical climate extends the active season. The homes near the the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico, springs, and lakes and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.
