Think mosquitoes don’t bite in winter? Think again

It’s a common myth that mosquitoes vanish in winter. In reality, Dengue risk doesn’t completely go away, especially in cities.


Here’s why:

Indoor breeding: Mosquitoes can breed in water stored inside homes, regardless of outdoor temperature.

Mild winters: In many regions, winter temperatures are still warm enough for mosquitoes to survive.

Stagnant water indoors: Bathrooms, kitchen drains, and plant trays remain active breeding spots year-round.

That’s why year-round protection matters. Keeping All Out switched on, even in winter ensures continuous defence against diseases like Dengue, Malaria, Chikungunya and Zika Virus. Protection isn’t seasonal, its essential.
