Although winter has already set in, many residents have noticed that mosquito bites haven’t disappeared. Recent media reports and feedback from various regions show that a mosquito species called Culex pipiens molestus is breaking the traditional perception that “there are no mosquitoes in winter” with its strong environmental adaptability, becoming a potential year-round nuisance in urban life.

Why Are Mosquitoes Still Active in Winter?

Among the common mosquito species in China, Culex mosquitoes account for over 70% of the total, and Culex pipiens molestus deserves special attention due to its unique biological characteristics:

• Strong cold resistance: It can remain active in low-temperature environments, with its active period spanning from late autumn to early spring.

• Autogenous reproduction: Female mosquitoes can lay eggs without blood-sucking, enabling continuous reproduction that is “independent of blood meals”.

• Hidden habitats: It mainly breeds in relatively temperature-stable urban underground spaces such as sewers, basements, and pipe wells, and spreads into indoor areas through various pipelines.

This phenomenon reminds us that mosquito control is shifting from a “seasonal task” to a year-round routine requirement, which in turn has driven the extension of the market cycle and the adjustment of production rhythms for related mosquito repellent products.

A New Market Normal: Year-Round Demand for Mosquito Repellents

As public awareness of “winter mosquitoes” grows and people’s protection consciousness strengthens, the market demand for mosquito repellent products is no longer limited to summer. Scenarios such as household daily use, outdoor carry-on protection, and defense in specific environments (e.g., basements, garages) have promoted the steady year-round sales of products like mosquito repellent patches, bracelets, and indoor sprays. Among various product forms, bead mosquito repellent patches are gradually becoming a popular choice for daily household use and outdoor activities, thanks to their portability, ease of application, long-lasting slow release, and flexible usage scenarios (e.g., on clothes, backpacks, baby strollers, etc.).
