Protect yourself from mosquito-borne diseases with the four D’s

Prevention is the best defense against the West Nile virus and other mosquito-borne diseases. Mesquite residents are reminded to remember the four D’s:

• Dusk and dawn are the times of day you should try to stay indoors. This is when mosquitoes are most active.
• Dress in long sleeves and pants when you are outside.
• DEET is an ingredient to look for in your insect repellent. Follow label instructions, and always wear repellent when outdoors.
• Drain standing water in your yard and neighborhood where mosquitoes can breed. Mosquitoes may develop in any water stagnant for more than three or four days.
