Fight the Bite
Join forces in the national "Fight the Bite" campaign
West Nile virus has arrived! Join forces in the national "Fight the Bite" campaign by practicing the "Seven D's" of protection:
- DRAIN: all sources of standing water that can support mosquito breeding.
- DAWN and DUSK: Avoid spending time outside when mosquitoes are most active, especially at dawn and the first two hours after sunset.
- DRESS APPROPRIATELY: When outdoors, wear long pants and longsleeved shirts.
- DEET: Apply insect repellant; those containing DEET work best; apply according to label instructions.
- DOOR and window screens: Repair or replace screens that have tears or holes.
