National Mosquito Control Awareness Week
National Mosquito Control Awareness Week, taking place from June 18 – June 24, 2023, is an opportunity each year to shed light on the critical importance of managing mosquitoes in your local community and reducing the prevalence of locally transmitted vector-borne diseases. Mosquitoes, known as the carriers of deadly disease-causing agents, pose a significant threat to public health throughout the United States and worldwide. During this week, AMCA seeks to educate and empower individuals, communities, and organizations to take proactive measures in mosquito control and safeguarding public health.
