We recommend, where possible, to avoid being outside at dawn or dusk (the periods of the day when midges, mosquitoes and noseeums are most active), wear long, loose, light colored clothing, avoiding strong perfumes and aftershaves (unless they are scents that repel mosquitoes such as our soap and hair care bars). We also strongly recommend that you remove any standing water from areas near your home. Birdbaths, drain pipes, gutters, even small items such as bottle tops or leaves on plants and shrubs around the home hold water that mosquitoes use to breed - get some more useful information on this here.
