Mosquitoes

To help prevent mosquitoes from entering the home, keep doors and windows closed and make sure window screens are in good condition. Outdoors, eliminate standing water where mosquitoes may reproduce, such as in flower pots, old tires, ornamental ponds, children's wading pools, buckets, pails, and low areas in the lawn and garden.

While outdoors when mosquito activity is high, wear long sleeve shirts and pants, use personal repellents to repel mosquitoes, and limit outside activity during the early morning or late evening when mosquito activity normally is the highest.
