Understanding mosquitoes and their Impact 

Before we jump into prevention strategies, let’s shed light on the menace that mosquitoes bring. They are not just a nuisance; they can transmit serious diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus. By recognising their potential harm, we emphasise the importance of protecting ourselves and our fellow BYJUites.

Mosquito-safe strategies for workplace and home

• Utilise mosquito repellents: Keep mosquito repellents and ointments handy at home or at work for outdoor activities.
• Dress smart: Wear light-coloured clothing and long sleeves, especially during outdoor or events at night.
• Screen doors and windows: Ensure that doors and windows are equipped with screens to prevent mosquitoes from entering your homes.
• Maintain landscaping: Trim shrubs and bushes, and regularly mow the grass to eliminate potential mosquito breeding sites.
