“It's mosquito season. Prevent bites, itching and the spread of diseases with these simple precautions.
• Choose bug sprays that contain 25-30% DEET
• Limit outdoor activities at dusk and dawn
• Eliminate standing water where possible. Mosquitos breed in stagnant or standing water
• Consider natural deterrents such as citronella candles, outdoor fans and mosquito-repelling plants like lavender, basil, mint and marigolds
