Take steps to control ZIKA mosquitoes inside and outside your home

• Install screens on windows and doors. Repair holes in screens to keep mosquitoes outside. Do not leave doors propped open.
• Use air conditioning when available.
• Sleep under a mosquito bed net if air conditioned or screened rooms are not available or if sleeping outdoors.
• Once a week, empty and scrub, turn over, cover, or throw out items that hold water, such as tires, buckets, planters, toys, pools, birdbaths, flowerpots, or trash containers. Check inside and outside your home. Mosquitoes lay eggs near water.
