In most localities and public areas, the mosquito populationis menacing throughout the year and is a recurrent problem in houses and offices. There are more than 3,500 species of mosquitoes that are found extensively. Breeding freely in highly contaminated water, Mosquitoes transmit diseases such as malaria, filariasis, dengue, Chikungunya etc.
The risk of mosquito-borne diseases is especially high in humid areas. In the more arid regions of India, mosquito infestation commonly peaks during and after the annual monsoon rainfalls. In the more tropic and humid regions, the peak of mosquito activity normally falls into the summers when high temperatures fasten the reproductive cycle of mosquitoes.
