§ 4-122. Precautions.

The most effective way to avoid any mosquito-borne illness is to take the following precautions around the home:

(1)

Drain standing water in your back yard and neighborhood; old tires, flower pots and clogged rain gutters are mosquito-breeding sites. Change out pet water daily and keep swimming pools treated.

(2)

DEET—Apply insect repellent that contains DEET. Be sure to read label instructions. Spray clothing with repellent as well as exposed skin.

(3)

Dress in light colored long sleeves and long pants when outside.

(4)

Dusk and dawn are when infected mosquitoes are most active. Stay indoors or minimize outdoor activities.

(5)

Doors and windows should remain closed and screens kept in good repair to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.
