Contrary to popular belief, mosquitoes are most active during the day.

During the day, the chances of being bitten by mosquitos (Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus) outdoors are almost 3 times more than indoors.[1] Both chikungunya and dengue causing mosquitoes are daytime feeders.[2-3] They mostly bite throughout the day, with peak mosquito biting time being between 8–9 a.m. followed by another peak during 5–6 p.m.[1]

Everyday situations where people are prone to mosquito bites:

  • Both children and adults can be exposed to mosquito bites in schools, colleges, offices and other institution.[4]

  • Patients with malaria are 3.6 times more likely to travel than healthy individuals.[5] Traveling to work can make people more prone to mosquito bites.[6]
