| Elimination of artificial breeding sites such as tin cans, tires, and tree holes will help control the breeding of this pest. Empty, remove, cover, or turn any receptacle that could hold water upside down. Properly discard unused tires and keep wanted tires inside or under cover. Clean rain gutters and downspout's to assure proper drainage. |
| Use a mosquito repellent that contains 30% DEET for adults and children over two months of age. Use the repellent according to label directions. Spray repellent sparingly and only on exposed skin or on the top of clothing. Do no spray repellents in a confined space and do not apply repellents to children’s hands or allow them to apply repellents. Wash treated skin when protection is no longer needed. |
