How to Protect Yourself From Mosquito Bites

Stop the mosquitoes before they have a chance to bite you! To protect yourself from mosquito bites this mosquito season in Ohio, you should wear the right type of clothing, use mosquito repellents, and schedule professional treatments. Thick or loose clothes make it more difficult for mosquitoes to bite you through. You should also wear a mosquito repellant that contains DEET or another EPA-registered ingredient and light citronella candles when spending time outside to reduce the number of mosquitoes that approach you. However, the best way to keep mosquitoes at bay is to schedule professional mosquito control treatments!

Wear clothes that mosquitoes can't penetrate to prevent mosquito bites.

If you head outdoors without the right type of clothing, then you could be advertising yourself as a delicious meal to the mosquito population on your property. To reduce the amount of mosquito bites, you should wear clothes that mosquitoes can't bite you through. Mosquitoes prefer to bite exposed skin, but that unfortunately doesn't stop them from biting you through your clothes. They can still bite you through thin material or tight-fitting clothing. The best type of clothing to stop mosquito bites is jeans, closed-toe shoes, and thick, long-sleeve shirts. Loose-fitting clothes are also a good option because the amount of loose fabric makes it difficult for mosquitoes to penetrate and reach your skin.

To reduce mosquito bites, it's best to wear mosquito repellants and light citronella candles.

When spending time outside, you should wear mosquito repellants or even light candles to help reduce mosquito bites. Mosquito repellents that contain DEET or another EPA-registered ingredient that has been proven to deter mosquitos will help create a barrier between yourself and the mosquitoes. Another great idea to reduce mosquitoes in your surrounding area is to light candles, especially citronella candles or candles that contain DEET! These candles can deter mosquitoes and work well when you place them around areas where you are going to be spending time, such as a porch or gazebo. By utilizing repellants and candles, you will have a better chance of spending time outdoors without being overwhelmed by mosquito bites!
