Fight the Bite, NRH!

Mosquitoes aren’t just annoying—they can carry serious diseases like West Nile Virus. Protect yourself and your family whenever you’re outdoors by using these tips to stay bite-free this summer!

• Use insect repellent with DEET or other EPA-registered ingredients like Picaridin, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus, PMD, or IR3535.
• Cover up with long sleeves and pants.
• Be extra cautious at dusk and dawn (6–9 a.m. & 7–10 p.m.), when mosquitoes are most active.
• Dump standing water around your property: birdbaths, wading pools and flower pots.
