- Cover water drums and tanks
- Remove old tyres, bottles and coconut shells
- Clear standing water on the roof and balcony
Avoiding bites
Use a bed net even for daytime sleep, especially for children and anyone who is ill. Wear clothes that cover arms and legs, and use a mosquito repellent when needed.
