Avoid densely populated residential areas.Keep your home and environment hygienic. If your surroundings are clean, there will be no room for the mosquitoes to breed.Mosquitoes breed at stagnant water places. So do not store water in empty containers. Throw away or recycle water-holding containers that are not in use. Change flower vase container weekly. Check for hidden water bodies like manholes, septic tanks, clogged drains, wells, etc.The areas where still water can collect such as, birdbaths, pet dishes, empty planters, flower pots, cans, etc., should be checked, emptied or changed regularly.Use mosquito repellents on exposed skin.Use air conditioning instead of opening windows.Use mosquito net if sleeping areas are not covered.Wear long sleeve clothes and long pants when mosquitoes are most active (primarily during the day).Make sure windows and door screens are secure and free of holes.Seek early consultation, if experienced with Dengue symptoms.
