Vermont has 45 species of mosquitoes and all of them are pretty pesky.

They're annoying and they're headed our way. At any moment, you'll be outside and will hear the fateful buzzing of mosquitoes. Vermont Edition will get you prepared for the onslaught of this annoying insect. And maybe even find a reason to appreciate them.

Patti Casey, the Agency of Agriculture’s environmental surveillance program director, and Natalie Kwit, the state public health veterinarian, join us to discuss some of Vermont's 45 species of mosquito, what a mosquito control district is (and why we only have two) and why you should concerned about West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis. And we'll get tips on avoiding mosquito bites.
