Prevention

Use an EPA-registered insect repellent.
When indoors, use air conditioning, window screens or insecticide-treated mosquito netting to keep mosquitoes out of the home.
Reduce the number of mosquitoes outside the home or hotel room by emptying or routinely changing standing water from containers such as flowerpots, pet dishes and bird baths.
Wear long sleeves and pants when outdoors.
