Mosquito Control Steps Against West Nile Risk
Authorities urge staying indoors at dawn and dusk, wearing long sleeves, applying DEET repellent, and keeping outdoor water containers empty. Tips include spraying clothing, draining tires, drilling recycling bins, cleaning gutters, turning over wading pools and wheelbarrows, aerating ponds, and chlorinating unused pools to prevent breeding.
