Mosquito-Free Monsoons: 5 Tips to Banish Those Pesky Pests

 

Eliminate Standing Water: Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so remove any sources of standing water around your home, such as buckets, flower pots, and waterlogged areas in the garden.

Use Mosquito Repellents: Apply mosquito repellents containing DEET or picaridin on exposed skin to keep mosquitoes at bay. Use mosquito coils, citronella candles, or plug-in vaporizers indoors to create a mosquito-free zone.

 

Install Window Screens: Fit window screens or use mesh nets on doors and windows to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home while allowing fresh air circulation.

Wear Protective Clothing: Cover your arms and legs with light-colored, loose-fitting clothing to minimize mosquito bites. Consider using clothing treated with insect repellents for added protection.

Maintain Clean Surroundings: Keep your surroundings clean and well-maintained. Trim shrubs and bushes regularly, as mosquitoes tend to rest in dense vegetation. Ensure proper waste management and dispose of garbage in covered bins to prevent mosquito breeding.
