As Halloween night approaches, families are getting ready to enjoy some spooky fun. While costumes and candy are the focus, it’s also important to be aware of the mosquitoes lurking in the dark!

Here are some easy ways to protect your family from mosquito bites while trick-or-treating:

• Use Bug Spray: Apply insect repellent with DEET, Picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus to exposed skin and clothing before heading out.
• Cover Up: Make sure costumes have long sleeves and pants to reduce exposed skin. Consider layering under costumes for added protection.
• Empty Standing Water: Before trick-or-treating, check your yard for puddles or buckets with standing water, as these can attract mosquitoes.
• Check Your Screens: Ensure that windows and doors are securely screened to prevent mosquitoes from sneaking inside.

With these simple steps, you can make sure your Halloween is both spooky and safe from mosquito bites! 🎃🦟 #HappyHalloween
