Protection from Insect Bites

Protection From Insect Bites : Avoidance

Where Possible avoid going out of doors between dusk and dawn
Wear long sleeves to cover your arms and long trousers
Avoid dark coloured clothing
If possible choose an air-conditioned room
Keep doors and windows closed
Avoid using perfumes and aftershaves
Choose a room above the third floor. Insects don't tend to fly to this height. Of course they do get carried.
If living in the area ensure there are no open water containers. Still water is often the preferred breading ground of some insects.
