- Use an effective mosquito repellent that contains 30 percent DEET,
- Wear long sleeves and pants at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active, and
- Remove standing water from any water holding device around your residence or business so mosquitoes do not have a place to breed.
- Check window screens in your home to be sure they are tight fitting and have no holes or tears.
- Check roof gutters to be sure they drain properly. Remove any debris and clean clogged gutters as needed to eliminate standing water.
