A little bit of mosquito education can go a long way in helping you prevent potentially dangerous bites.
- Deter – Add extra protection by pre-treating your clothing, outdoor furniture, and screens with an EPA-registered insect repellent such as Summit® Green Armor Insect Repellent. Use DEET or another EPA-registered insect repellent on exposed skin to keep them from biting.
- Dress – Wear light-colored long sleeves and pants if you know you’ll be around mosquitoes.
- Dawn and dusk – This is when mosquitoes are most active. Try to avoid being outside during these times.
- Drain & Dunk – Even an inch of standing water can be a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. Check your rain gutters, old tires, wheelbarrows, and anywhere else that holds unwanted standing water. Treat birdbaths, ponds, and other standing water with Mosquito Dunks® or Mosquito Bits®.
