Mosquito Season Begins: Increased Activity Expected
US · Published Mar 29, 2026
Mosquito season begins with rising temperatures, leading to increased mosquito activity and breeding.
Mosquito-borne diseases like West Nile virus and Zika virus become more prevalent during mosquito season.
Eliminating standing water and using mosquito repellent are key preventive measures to reduce mosquito bites.
Mosquito activity increases with warmer weather arrival
With the arrival of warmer weather, mosquito season is now underway, bringing an anticipated increase in mosquito activity across numerous regions. Mosquitoes thrive in environments with standing water, such as puddles and containers, which creates ideal breeding conditions. This seasonal uptick in mosquito populations also elevates the risk of mosquito-borne diseases, including West Nile virus and Zika virus, transmitted through mosquito bites. Public health officials are actively monitoring mosquito populations and disease incidence to effectively manage potential outbreaks.
