How To Prevent Mosquitoes From Biting You

Mosquito-borne diseases have been on the rise in recent years. The West Nile Virus is a common disease seen throughout the United States that people can die from. Here are some facts you should know about mosquitoes:

• Mosquitoes are responsible for the most deaths of humans compared to any other living thing (through diseases).
• Only females bite. Females need blood to reproduce.
• Females lay 200 eggs which can survive up to 5 years.
• Eggs are laid in stagnant water.
• Mosquitoes bite blonds more than brunettes!
• You will see the most amounts of mosquitoes during a full moon.
• Mosquitoes are most active a dawn and dusk.

If you take precautions, there are ways to avoid getting bit. These following tips will reduce the chances of mosquitoes biting you:

• Wear long sleeve, loose clothing when outside. Mosquitoes can bite right through a tight shirt.
• Do not be outside at dawn or dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
• Make sure there is not stagnant water built up on your property. Empty out tires lying around, waddle pools, and bird baths.
• When using candles outside in a space, position them in the corners on the floor so the smoke blows up and away.
• Use insect repellent containing 30% DEET.
• When are outside or you go to sleep, have a fan on you. Mosquitoes will go away from the breeze.
