Mosquitoes in Massachusetts are notorious for spreading West Nile Virus (WNV) and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), but there’s even more to these miniature menaces than that. ![Best Massachusetts Mosquito Control](https://blog.burgesspest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Mosquitoes%20on%20the%20Move.png?width=582&name=Mosquitoes%20on%20the%20Move.png) [Mosquitoes](https://blog.burgesspest.com/blog/winter-mosquito-prevention-massachusetts-rhode-island)are considered the deadliest “animal” in the world because of the diseases they spread to humans. In addition to WNV and EEE, [mosquito](https://blog.burgesspest.com/blog/mosquito-control-tips-infographic)bites are responsible for Zika virus, dengue fever, yellow fever, malaria, chikungunya, and many other illnesses. Because mosquitoes are found all over the world, it is important to take precautions while traveling as well as spending time outdoors at home. There is no cure, treatment, or vaccine for mosquito-borne diseases; bite prevention is key. Reduce your risk by following these guidelines: - **Wear long sleeves and pants** when outdoors. - **Avoid** being outdoors during times of increased mosquito activity such as dawn and dusk. - Use repellent. The most up-to-date recommendations can be found at [www.epa.gov](http://www.epa.gov) - Reduce standing water around your [property](https://blog.burgesspest.com/blog/prevent-mosquito-breeding-grounds-in-your-yard-infographic). This includes bird baths, pet dishes, plastic pools, wheelbarrows, tire swings, and areas where rain collects. Be sure to keep gutters clear and check outdoor plumbing for leaks. - **Stay safe indoors.** Keep windows and doors closed when possible, and ensure all screens are secure and intact.
