While enjoying the outdoors,
follow these simple steps to fight the bite
of mosquitos.
Keep mosquitos outside by covering doors and windows with screens.
Different mosquitos are active at different times of the day and night,
so it's best to use EPA-approved repellents anytime you are participating in outdoor activities
Drain standing water around buildings from flower pots, garbage cans,
and any other source, no matter how small.
Cover up with thick clothing; long sleeves and pants
Replace water in birdbaths, weekly.
Remember to drain and cover.
