Mosquito Identification and Management

This activity teaches youth and adults how mosquitoes can be a pest and how to stay safe with mosquitoes.

Read about the biology and habitat of mosquitoes, strategies for eliminating breeding sites and reducing mosquito bites, and the safe use of insect repellents.

Mosquitoes are small insects that begin their lives in water before becoming the biting, blood-sucking adults with which we are all familiar (only the females bite).
