Mosquito activity decreases significantly at temperatures below 50°F (10°C). At these lower temperatures, mosquitoes become less active and may enter a state of dormancy or hibernation. However, the exact temperature at which mosquitoes die off varies depending on the species and environmental conditions. In some cases, mosquitoes may survive cold temperatures by seeking shelter in protected areas or by overwintering as eggs, larvae, or pupae in water or other suitable habitats.
