Precautions to avoid mosquito bites include:
Minimize time outdoors at dusk and dawn.
Be sure door and window screens are tight fitting and in good repair.
Wear shoes, socks, long pants and long-sleeved shirts. Clothing material should be tightly woven.
Use mosquito netting when sleeping outdoors.
Consider using mosquito repellent when it is necessary to be outdoors. Always use according to label instructions. The most effective repellents contain DEET or Picaridin. Do not apply to the hands of children or to infants less than 2 months old.
