MOSQUITOES CAN SPREAD ILLNESS Protect Yourself with Repellent Always read label directions carefully for the approved usage before you apply a repellent. Apply insect repellent to exposed skin or clothing, but not under clothing. Treat clothing and gear with products containing 0.5% permethrin. Do not apply permethrin directly to skin. Some repellents are not suitable for children. Ensure repellent is safe for children and age appropriate. Stop Mosquitoes from Breeding Mosquitoes can live indoors and will bite at any time, day or night. Mosquitoes breed by laying eggs in and near standing water. As little as one teaspoon or bottle cap of water standing for more than one week is enough for mosquitoes to breed and multiply. Keep them Outside Use Air Conditioning Keep Screens on All Windows Around Buildings At least once a week, empty or cover anything that could hold water, such as: Buckets Toys Child Pools and Pool Covers Birdbaths Trash, Containers, and Recycling Bins Boat or Car Covers Roof Gutters Coolers Pet Dishes Tires Repair Holes in Screens Keep Doors Exterior Windows ClosedDownload the Mosquito Prevention Flyer
