Mosquito Season in India: How to Get Your Home Ready

Mosquito activity in India usually rises with warm, humid weather, during the monsoon and in the weeks after it, though the timing varies by city. The best time to prepare is before activity picks up: stock up, check screens, clear standing water and set an evening routine.

When is mosquito season in India?

India is a large country and the season depends on where you live. In many places, mosquitoes become more of a problem when the weather turns warm and humid and when rain leaves standing water behind. Pay attention to your own city and start your preparation before you notice the first bites.

What should I do before the season starts?

  • Check your screens and doors. Repair gaps and torn mesh.
  • Clear standing water. Empty coolers, buckets, plant saucers and trays once a week.
  • Stock up on refills. A 45ML x 4 multi-pack of Mosquito Furr refills means you do not run out on a busy night.
  • Check your machine. Make sure it works and that you know where it is.
  • Set an evening routine. Close openings at dusk and switch on your vaporizer. See our evening routine guide.

How much should I stock up?

Count the rooms you want to cover and the number of evenings you expect to use a vaporizer. Check the label to see how long a 45ML refill is designed to last, then work out your total. A multi-pack is a convenient way to buy several refills at once. Mosquito Furr multi-packs come as 45ML x 4 and, in the Super and Camphor variants, 45ML x 3 + 1 pc.

What should I carry when we travel?

For trips and outdoor evenings, a small roll-on is easy to pack. Follow the label on the pack: apply four dots on your clothes, two on the upper body and two on the lower body, away from the nose.

A simple season checklist

  1. Fix screens and gaps.
  2. Clear standing water weekly.
  3. Stock refills for every room.
  4. Keep a spray and a roll-on for quick use and outdoors.
  5. Read every label and follow it.
