How to Protect You and Your Children from West Nile Virus
Part 2
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2

Here's What You Need To Know And What You Should Do:

1. Clean up your yard!

Mosquitoes breed in standing water, which requires a container. Eliminate anything around your yard that supplies a container for water -- tires (the number one breeding site for mosquitoes in the US!), children's toys and play equipment, dishes left out, plant containers, dog water dishes, bird baths and water gardens that don't have circulating water. Eliminate weeds, shrubs and tall grass; that's where the adults like to hide.

2. Stay inside at dawn and dusk, especially when the air is calm.

This is the favorite time for the females, the biter.

3. Mosquitoes love carbon dioxide (CO2) and lactic acid.

According to Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. (chemistry), we emit more CO2 when we're hot and after we've been exercising. Burning candles and fires also emit CO2. We emit more lactic acid when we've been exercising, and after having eaten salty foods or foods high in potassium.

4. Wear light, loose clothing that covers the body.

Mosquitoes prefer dark clothes. Mosquitoes prefer certain skin temperatures, often our hands and feet, because they're cooler, so wear socks and shoes.

5. Mosquitoes are worse in urban areas.

Chicago, Detroit and Boston have been high on the list. This is mainly because there are more people and also more discarded tires.

6. Mosquitoes are attracted to floral and fruity scents, and sweat.

The moisture and chemical mix of human perspiration is a big lure. Obviously don't wear perfume, but consider as well: sunscreen, suntan lotion, deodorant, hair spray, and the use of fabric softener on your clothing.

7. Mosquitoes appear to be repelled by some natural oils.

Citronella, castor, rosemary, lemongrass, cedar, peppermint, clove, and geranium. Bear in mind that "natural" doesn't always mean "safe," and individuals have different reactions to these natural oils.

8. Don't let them get into your house; they're just as happy to bite you inside as out.

Get screens up and keep them repaired, when you leave the house, open and close doors quickly, and educate your children about keeping doors closed.

9. Insect repellers bring mixed reviews, but here are two that appear to work well:

(1) Mosquito Dunks, which kill them before they're big enough to bite, available at: Yardiac

(2) Mosquito magnet ® which "mimics a human by emitting a plume of carbon dioxide, heat and moisture, and a short-range attractant, octenol, which is irresistible to female mosquitoes," available here: Mosquito Magnet

10. The most susceptible populations to any virus, including West Nile, are children, seniors and anyone with a compromised immune system.
