Monsoon season brings refreshing rains but also a surge in mosquito populations, increasing the risk of diseases. Such as fever, malaria, and diarrhea. Here are six simple ways to protect yourself from mosquito bites
Apply mosquito repellents on exposed skin and clothing to keep mosquitoes at bay.
Use mosquito nets over beds and install fine mesh screens on windows and doors to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.
Regularly empty and clean containers that collect water, such as flower pots and bird baths, to eliminate mosquito breeding sites.
Opt for long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and socks, especially during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
Place mosquito traps and zappers in areas where mosquitoes are prevalent to reduce their population.
Keep your surroundings clean by disposing of garbage regularly and ensuring drains and sewage systems are unclogged.
