Enjoying time outdoors with family and friends is pure joy. ☺️ Take a little extra care to help keep mosquito bites at bay with these tips:

✅ Use EPA-Approved Insect Repellent – Safe and effective for keeping pesky bites away.

✅ Wear Protective Clothing – Long sleeves and light colors help keep skin covered and less attractive to mosquitoes.

✅ Avoid Peak Mosquito Hours – Mosquitoes are most active around sunrise and sunset, so try to stay indoors then.

✅ Install or Repair Screens – Keep bugs out while letting fresh air in.

✅ Use Outdoor Fans – Mosquitoes are weak flyers, and fans help keep them away.

✅ Eliminate Standing Water – Dump water from birdbaths, buckets, and flower pots to stop mosquito breeding.

✅ Stay Cool and Dry – Mosquitoes are drawn to body heat and sweat, so staying dry helps reduce bites.
