- The CDC recommends use of an EPA-registered personal insect repellent as an effective way to repel mosquito bites.
- Apply Cutter Skinsations Insect Repellent1 (Pump Spray) as directed.
- Consumers should consider treating clothing, backpacks, tents and shoes with permethrin-based spray.
- Consumers can reduce mosquitoes around the home by removing the places they might breed. Empty standing water from flower pots, bird baths, barrels and pet dishes, and clean out leaves and debris from rain gutters.
- Consumers should consider using a do-it-yourself spray insect repellent formulated for mosquito control. Spray over the entire yard, including shrubs, bushes and grassy areas.
- The Zika-carrying Aedes mosquito is drawn to the indoors, so close entry points by repairing screens on windows and weather stripping on doors if needed.
