  • Stay indoors at dusk, dawn and early evening.
  • Wear light-coloured clothing.
  • Don't wear scented deodorant, soaps or perfumes if you are in an area with a high bug population.
  • Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants when outdoors.
  • Spray clothing with Muskol® Insect Repellent for protection against mosquitoes for up to 8 hours. Avoid contact with synthetic fabrics. May damage furniture finishes, plastics and painted surfaces.
