do not allow water to accumulate
During the rainy season, mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Therefore, during this season, ensure that water does not accumulate in the house and surrounding areas. Otherwise, mosquito bites can cause malaria and dengue. Try not to let rainwater accumulate in tanks and buckets. To avoid this, keep them upside down. One should also avoid going to flooded areas during these days.

Use spray
Insect spray is a good way to avoid mosquitoes during rainy days. If you are using a spray, then read the instructions given on the bottle. It contains many types of chemicals, so spray it two to three hours before sitting in the room and close the door to keep the surrounding environment safe. People who have difficulty in breathing should not come in contact with mosquito repellent spray.

Wear loose-fitting clothes
CDC According to WHO guidelines, it is important to wear loose-fitting clothes to protect yourself from mosquitoes. By doing this, mosquitoes are not able to come close to your skin. It is easy for mosquitoes to bite you in tight or skin-fit clothes, but with loose-fitting clothes, mosquitoes are not able to come in direct contact with the skin and are not able to bite you.
