My backyard has a terrible mosquito problem, but only on the side where this plant is located. Could this be the source of the mosquito issue?

Looks to be some sort of cherry laurel, no clue about the mosquitos though

Typically, standing water is what attracts mosquitos. If this plant is causing standing water, or stagnant areas, that could be the culprit. But generally mosquitos aren’t attracted to specific plants.

they might be attracted to the shade under all those leaves. in my yard they hide out during the day in the ivy and bushes and come out when I’m trimming, or just in general once the sun starts setting
