This week, the week of 23-29 June, is being observed as National Mosquito Control Awareness Week. An initiative sponsored by the American Mosquito Control Association, this is the week’s seventeenth annual observance.
The week was initiated to educate the general public about the significance of mosquitoes in their daily lives and about the important service provided by mosquito control workers throughout the United States and the rest of the world.
During this week, displays, lectures, demonstrations, and educational programs are being held to focus on mosquitoes as disease carriers and pests. Included in these presentations are information on the mosquito life cycle and tips on how to eliminate mosquito egg-laying sites around homes in order to help citizens reduce the numbers of mosquitoes in their own neighborhoods.
