DON’T
LET THE
BUGS BITE
Nothing ruins the
enjoyment of a
sunset or campfire
like mosquitoes. And
more than just being
a nuisance, these
bringers-of-itchy-bites
can also be carriers
of West Nile virus
(although for most
Canadians, the risk
is low).
• When outdoors,
And if you’re wondering,
apply sunscreen first, bug
repellant second.
• Opt for long-sleeve shirts,
pants and light-coloured
clothing (mozzies are
apparently partial to dark
colours).
• Get rid of any standing
water around your yard
or cottage, as that’s where
mosquitoes lay their eggs.
Change water in bird baths
and wading pools twice a
week, and cover rain barrels
with a screen.
