1. Finish standing water

Even small amounts of stable water can serve as breeding sites. Empty and scrub buckets, coolers, flowerpots, birdbaths and old tires every week. Cover the water tank and pet bowl, and clean the blocked drains or roof gutters.

2. Use mosquito repellents

Apply replants with DEET, picardin, or lemon eucalyptus oil – especially during peak mosquitoes. For children, choose a safe roll-on or mosquito patch during outdoor games.

3. Wear protective clothes

Opt for long-sleeved shirts, full-length trousers, socks and closed shoes. Light colored fabrics are better, as mosquitoes are more attracted to dark colors.
