1. Use mosquito repellents such as insecticides and sprays.
2. Make sure you have screens on all windows, doors, and other openings in your home or yard.
3. Keep your lawn mowed regularly, especially near water sources like ponds, lakes, and streams.
4. Avoid being outdoors at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
5. Dress appropriately for the weather and wear light-colored clothing that covers exposed skin.
6. Use fans instead of air conditioning during warm weather because mosquitoes prefer still air.
