"Summer Mosquito Prevention Tips"

Entomologist Sonja Swiger, PhD, of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service has shared five suggestions for keeping mosquitoes out of your house this summer. These include disposing of stagnant water, keeping doors shut and using impenetrable screens, avoiding an overgrown yard and shrubbery, using repellents consistently, and knowing when mosquitoes are in action. Taking preventative steps can decrease the number of mosquitoes in or around your home, and frequent use of repellents can help lessen bites.
