Rainy and wet conditions that often follow a hurricane can result in an increase to the mosquito population. To reduce breeding:
Check and empty standing water in children's toys, untreated swimming pools, uncovered boats and watercraft that are not draining water, as well as from trash cans and lids.
To avoid mosquito bites:
Repair screening on windows, doors, porches and patios.
Avoid being outdoors at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are more likely to bite.
Dress in light, long and loose clothing that covers the skin.
