Pitt County wants to educate residents during National Mosquito Control Awareness Week
PITT COUNTY, N.C. (WNCT) — This week is National Mosquito Control Awareness Week and Pitt County is speaking out. The county wants to remind residents about the risk of mosquito-borne diseases and aims to educate on how to stay safe from them. Officials also mentioned to not tailgate mosquito management trucks, as they play a key role in mosquito control operations. 'For your safety and ours, we urge all drivers to maintain a safe distance behind our mosquito management trucks,' says Amanda Morrison, Pitt County Vector Control Program Manager. 'These vehicles may stop or slow suddenly, and treatments may be released into the air. Tailgating puts you at risk and disrupts our efforts to protect public health.' For general tips on how to prevent the circulation of mosquito-borne diseases, it is recommended to adhere to the three D's of protection: drain, dress and defend. Drain standing water, dispose of old tires, clean out gutters and drains and clean pet water dishes and bird baths regularly. Dress is light colored, loose fitting clothing and opt for long shirt and pant sleeve when outdoors. Defend with insect repellents and staying informed. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
