Follow these tips to avoid bites from mosquitoes and ticks.
Keep mosquitoes away from your home.
Many mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing (still) water. To help keep mosquitoes away:
- Empty water from unused or forgotten items (like flower pot bases, old tires, buckets, and toys) in your yard. Turn them upside down.
- Change the water in your kids’ wading pool at least once a week. Be sure to store the pool on its side.
