Strategies to Avoid Mosquitos

• Bug Jacket / Bug Hat
• Put geranium plants, citronella candles or fresh onion slices on windowsills to ward them off
• Remove water/wet areas
• They're out more often during dusk and dawn
• Wear light colored clothing
• Wear a hat
• Attract birds that eat mosquitos (like Purple Martins)
• If you get a bite, then within 2 hours run hot water over a spoon (or otherwise heat up a spoon, but not too hot) then hold the spoon on the bite for 30 seconds. This reduces the itchiness.
