🦟 Mosquito-Proof Your Zone: The JCVCD Way
Don’t let mosquitoes turn your backyard into a bite zone. Here’s how to fight back—with style and science.
🧴 Repel Like a Pro
Use EPA-approved mosquito repellents containing:
• DEET
• Picaridin
• Lemon oil
• Eucalyptus oil
• IR3535
These ingredients are your frontline defense—safe, effective, and proven to keep biters at bay.
đź‘• Dress Smart
Long sleeves and long pants = fewer landing zones. Bonus: sun protection and style points.
🪟 Seal the Deal
Install screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out while letting fresh air in.
đźš« Dump It. Scrub It. Flip It.
Any outdoor container that holds water—even a bottle cap—can become a mosquito nursery.
• Dump standing water
• Scrub surfaces (eggs cling!)
• Store items upside down or indoors
