Objective: To investigate the type, number, and distribution of mosquito and fly breeding sites in Guangzhou, China, so as to lay the foundation for developing mosquito and fly control measures and plans, and the prevention and control of vector-borne diseases. Methods: In March 2024, 50 households were selected respectively from the eastern, western, southern, northern, and middle of each sub-district/town in Guangzhou; and in each sub-district/town, the mosquito habitats were selected in different directions, including at least 10 outdoor environments in residential areas, 15 governmental and organizational units (government agencies, social organizations, and enterprises and public institutions), 10 construction sites, 5 parks/green places, 5 special industries, and 10 other environments. The mosquito breeding sites in indoor and outdoor environments was surveyed, and the shelter conditions of the breeding sites were recorded. In each sub-district/town, more than six habitat types were selected to investigate the breeding sites of flies, and whether there were covers on breeding containers were recorded. The Chi-square test was used to compare the positive rates of different breeding sites. Results: In March, the average Breteau index was 3.85, and the average standard space index was 0.26. The main breeding sites of Aedes albopictus were flowerpots, flowerpot trays, containers of various materials and aquatic plants; in residential areas, the proportions of the 4 types of breeding sites were 37.43%, 19.33%, 15.45% and 18.92%, respectively, with higher positive rates in bamboo tubes/tree holes (10.06%) and waste tires (7.20%); and in outdoor environments, the breeding sites proportions were 20.10%, 13.20%, 22.67% and 13.18%, respectively, with higher positive rates in waste tires (6.55%) and bamboo tubes/tree holes (6.18%). The positive rate of Ae. albopictus breeding sites without shelters (3.89%) was significantly higher than that with shelters (2.14%) (χ2=481.061, P < 0.001). The main Culex breeding sites were wells and ditches; in residential areas, the proportions of the two breeding sites were 35.18% and 29.68%, respectively, with the positive rate higher in ditches (8.87%); and in outdoor environments, the breeding sites proportions were 52.96% and 38.34%, respectively, with the positive rate higher in hollows (11.57%). The average positive rate of fly breeding sites was 4.33%. The main fly breeding sites were garbage (61.42%), with a highest positive rate in animal matter (6.82%). Among fly breeding sites, the positive rate of covered habitats (4.09%) was significantly lower than that of uncovered habitats (4.58%) (χ2=4.744, P=0.029). Conclusions: Guangzhou had low densities of mosquitoes and flies but abundant breeding sites in March 2024. The breeding sites of mosquitoes and flies differs by environmental type, and sheltering or covering can reduce their breeding. Control measures should be formulated according to the breeding sites of mosquitoes and flies.
