To Avoid Mosquitoes: Get Smart!

RACINE, Wis., June 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- We are in the final days of National Mosquito Control Awareness Week (NMCAW). The mosquito experts from the SC Johnson Institute of Insect Science for Family Health – one of the world's largest private, urban entomology research centers – offer this mosquito infographic to help raise awareness about mosquito bite prevention.

The 21^st anniversary of NMCAW comes at a critical time when mosquito-borne diseases are a concern for governments and healthcare organizations around the world.

SC Johnson is also known for its philanthropic actions such as donating tens of millions of trusted company products such as OFF!®, Raid®, Baygon® and Autan® around the world to help those who cannot afford personal and spatial repellents or insecticides.

Educational materials and resources are available in 13 languages to help families protect themselves against mosquitoes, particularly those that may carry diseases like West Nile virus, Zika virus and dengue fever. Please go to www.scjohnson.com/mosquitoes for more information.
