National Mosquito Control Awareness Week

National Mosquito Control Awareness Week

This event occurs annuallyl, June 21–27, and is a nationwide effort led by the American Mosquito Control Association. The purpose is to educate communities about the health risks mosquitoes pose and how simple prevention steps can make a big impact.
Why it matters: Mosquitoes are more than an itchy nuisance—they can spread serious illnesses like West Nile virus, dengue, Zika, and malaria. This week is a reminder that preventing mosquito-borne disease starts at home and works best when communities come together. It also recognizes the vital role local mosquito control programs play in keeping our neighborhoods safe.
