Preventing the Bite Minimize time spend outdoors when mosquitoes appear to be most active. Be sure door and window screens fit tightly and are without holes. When outdoors: · Wear shoes, socks, long pants and long-sleeves when mosquitoes are most active. Clothing should be light colored and made of tightly woven fabric to keep mosquitoes away from the skin. · Use mosquito netting on infant carriages and when sleeping outdoors or in an unscreened structure. · Consider applying insect repellents. Follow instructions on the product’s label. Deet can be applied to the skin, while permethrin should be applied to clothing only. Consult physician before using repellent on children.
