Mosquitoes can be enormous pests to our horses, but even worse, they may spread diseases [disease-causing pathogens] like West Nile virus or Eastern and Western equine encephalitis (EEE and WEE). As horse owners, our goal is to minimize our horses‘ exposure to mosquitoes and their risk of being bit.

Horses draw mosquitoes for a number of reasons, and this attraction puts them at increased risk of the diseases and infections associated with bites. Large Body Size – Horses are big, of course, and that gives the mosquito more surface area to land on and explore.
