Get rid of mosquito bites
In order to stay bite and itch-free, make sure to eliminate any areas of standing water around the property, such as flowerpots, birdbaths and grill covers, as these are ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Females lay their eggs inside items that can hold as little as a half inch of water, which means something as small as a bottle cap can hold enough water for larvae to develop!

Homeowners should also screen all windows and doors, repairing even the smallest hole.
Additionally, many mosquito species are most active during dusk and dawn, so minimize time spent outside during these times. When outdoors, wear long pants and sleeves when possible and be sure to apply insect repellent like oil of lemon Or eucalyptus. Although it may seem simple, there actually is a right and a wrong way to apply insect repellent.
