Take Action.

Eliminate standing water.

It’s late July, no one has used the kiddie pool you filled up when it broke 90 degrees on the 4th. Chuck it. Also, dump out that wheelbarrow that you have around back; it’s filled with melted snow and besides breeding mosquitoes, it will be no use to you when it rusts out.

Cover up.

Try out the latest fashion trend we can’t rave about enough: socks and long pants. Or at least be like the half-clothed daredevil pictured to the right and spray some Deet on your exposed fleshy bits.

I know, I know the sun is hot
Mosquitos come suck your blood
And leave you there all alone
Just skin and bone - Nick Oliveri
