Mosquitoes have been around for more than 30 million years -- time they've apparently spent figuring out how to be among the most annoying pests on the planet.

They start their days early, about the time we're leaving for work and the kids are outside waiting for the bus or walking to school.

They rest during the day, hiding in plants and grass.

They come out again at dusk, about the time we're getting home from work and want to sit outside on the deck, play ball with the kids or work in the garden.

Not only have they figured out when we're most available, they're very good at targeting us.

Mosquitoes also carry diseases that are caused by bacteria, parasites or viruses, including the West Nile virus, encephalitis, and -- largely in other parts of the world -- dengue fever, malaria and yellow fever. Some estimates say mosquitoes have killed more people than all wars combined.

They can breed in just a few ounces of water that stands for more than four days.
