How to avoid mosquito bites?

• The best way to avoid mosquito bites is to put insect on exposed skin. In addition, there are other repellents which can be used on clothing, shoes, camping gear, and bed nets. Directions on insect repellents should how often they should be reapplied and for which age groups they're appropriate.

• Consider wearing long pants and long when weather allows it, or simply stay indoors at or near dawn and dusk.

• Eliminate mosquito sites around your home. These include small pools of water such as a birdbath that's not out, water at the bottom of a flowerpot, and old buckets or tires with water. Any kind of container can breed mosquitoes. Emptying such containers once or twice a week do the trick.

• Put screens on your windows and —and repair the screens if they have holes in them. Also, use conditioning so you can keep the windows closed.

• Use mosquito netting on infant carriers when taking your baby .
