Recent historic rainfall may have brought much-needed hydration, but it’s also created a breeding bonanza for pesky mosquitoes. Don’t let these bloodsuckers ruin your summer! Here are some quick tips to keep them at bay according to the source bernco.gov
Gear Up: Pack insect repellent with DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus for maximum protection. Apply it liberally to exposed skin and clothing, following product instructions carefully.
Dress Smart: Long sleeves and pants may seem counterintuitive in hot weather, but they create a physical barrier against bites. Opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics for maximum comfort.
