The mosquitoes this summer are as thick as little annoying thieves. To keep mosquitoes from breeding even more, and to prevent bites that could lead to disease, use these best-practice tips from the Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District (OCMVCD).
Eliminate Breeding Sources
- 尽可能经常倒掉盆栽托盘里的水
- 尽可能频繁地倾倒并排空其他装满水的容器
- 每周清洁并擦洗鸟浴盆和宠物水碗
Prevent Bites
- 外出前在裸露的皮肤上涂抹驱蚊剂；按照建议重新涂抹
- 穿着含有避蚊胺 (DEET)、派卡瑞丁 (Picaridin)、IR3535 或柠檬桉油的驱蚊服
- 穿长袖衬衫和长裤，并选择浅色衣服
- 关闭所有未安装纱窗的门窗，以防止蚊子进入您的家或空间；修理破损或损坏的纱窗
