Heavy rain and heat bring out billions of mosquitoes in U.S.: "A lot of biting going on"

Sizzling temperatures and devastating storms in parts of the U.S. created a breeding ground for billions of pesky mosquitoes this summer.

"When temperatures are in the 90s and we have standing water, we're going to have … billions of mosquitoes breeding," Michael Raupp, an entomologist and a professor emeritus at the University of Maryland, said on "CBSN AM" on Monday. "There's going to be a lot of biting going on." The remnants of hurricanes Henri and Ida dumped billions of gallons of water across multiple states. Raupp said standing water was "the perfect spot for mosquitoes to breed."
