Wear long-sleeved clothing and long pants if you are outdoors at night.
Use a mosquito net over the bed if your bedroom is not air-conditioned or screened. For additional protection, treat the mosquito net with the insecticide permethrin.
Spray an insecticide or repellent on clothing, as mosquitoes may bite through thin clothing.
Spray pyrethrin or a similar insecticide in your bedroom before going to bed.
