I would like to share how to take prevention against mosquito, hopefully this is helpful:
ReplyDelete* Wear long sleeved shirt, long pants, socks and shoes before going out at night for long period or when mosquitoes are most active.
* Avoid outdoor activity during mosquito active time.
* Use natural plant oil mosquito repellents such as citronelle, eucaplyptus, neem, peppermint, jojoba and tea tree oil. These are recommended especially for children and baby.
