At what temperature do mosquitoes become inactive in the fall, and can mosquitoes carry the coronavirus? Eggs from container-breeding mosquitoes can also withstand a period of drying out and hatch within two days of heavy rain. As a result, the population of mosquitoes in general significantly increases a week to two weeks after heavy rainfall. The mosquitoes weren’t interested in landing on my left arm, and instead wanted to buzz around my face and legs. I alternated between swatting at mosquitoes around my face then extending my left arm, hoping for a bite.
