Preventing Mosquito Bites Mosquitos lay their eggs in standing water, which includes puddles, stagnant ditches, and containers such as old tires, buckets, neglected swimming pools, and catch basins. It is important to apply mosquito repellant when outdoors - especially when camping, boating or fishing at night. Tips to Avoid Bites - Make sure that doors and windows have tight-fitted screens - Remove all discarded tires from your property - Make sure roof gutters drain properly - Clean and chlorinate swimming pools and outdoor hot tubs. When not in use keep covered or drained. - Change water in bird baths at least once per week - Eliminate any standing water on property - Use insect repellant and follow the label directions |
