In Vermont, mosquito season begins in the spring, but does not typically pose a health risk until the summer months. By July, some mosquitoes may be carrying viruses that cause diseases like West Nile virus (WNV) or Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE).
It is important to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites to protect yourself from these diseases. This can be done by protecting yourself from mosquitoes and preventing mosquitoes from breeding around your house.
