Invasive mosquitoes are in Orange County! The एडीज एजिप्टी (yellow fever mosquito) and Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito) are not native to California and can transmit zika, dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever.
Follow these tips to prevent mosquito bites and breeding:
- बाहर जाने से पहले खुली त्वचा पर मच्छर भगाने वाली क्रीम लगाएं; सिफारिश के अनुसार दोबारा लगाएं
- Wear repellent clothing containing DEET®, Picaridin, IR3535 or lemon eucalyptus oil
- लंबी आस्तीन वाली शर्ट और लंबी पैंट पहनें, और हल्के रंग के कपड़े चुनें
- Dump and drain outdoor containers filled with water at least weekly—potted plant saucers are a main culprit
- Close all unscreened doors and windows to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home or space; get broken or damaged screens repaired or replaced
- पक्षियों के स्नानघर और पालतू जानवरों के पानी के कटोरे को साप्ताहिक रूप से साफ़ करें
