It is important to protect you, and your family by preventing mosquito bites. The CDC recommends using repellents registered with the Environmental Protection Agency that includes one of these active ingredients:

• DEET
• Picaridin
• IR3535
• Oil of lemon eucalyptus:
• Para-methane-diol
• 2-undecanoate

More information on repellents can be found here: Repellents: Protection against Mosquitoes, Ticks and Other Arthropods | US EPA

As well as using repellents, during high mosquito activity hours, the CDC recommends wearing long, loose, light-colored clothing. Wearing repellent-treated clothing will also help protect from bites.

Another step to take is to avoid leaving standing water or extremely damp earth on your property. Mosquitoes favor damp, or wet areas to lay eggs, so keeping your property dry will discourage breeding in your area. If you have decorative standing water, such as birdbaths or fish ponds, it’s advisable to clean them out at least once a week or install a filter.
