It is only common sense to reduce mosquito bites by keeping out of their way as much as possible Repair holes in your screens and make sure they tightly Mow your weeds and grass frequently trim hedges and remove all unneces sary vegetation which protects adult mosquitoes from sun and wind Provide netting for the protection of babies and young children Close the damper on your fireplace when it not in use Wear loose protective clothing with long sleeves where mosquitoes are abundant Lighter coloured clothing attracts fewer mosquitoes than dark clothing Many efficient insect repellents are available but always read the label and follow instructions How to stop them from breeding Mosquitoes usually develop in still water so the best way to eliminate them is to do away with still water breeding sites ever they exist You can do your share Eliminate all standing water around your home Fill in low areas to prevent water gathering Make sure drainage ditches and gutters aren clogged with trash Clean blocked drainpipes and drain water from flat roofs Dispose of empty cans and old tires and up end buckets and other containers left outdoors Change water wading pools ponds and bird baths every few days Keep your swimming pool properly chlorinated and filtered Insecticides and pesticides should be used carefully Follow the manufacturers instructions In 1975 a type of encephalitis spread by certain mosquitoes occurred in Ontario for the first time There were about 70 cases mostly Southwestern Ontario Weather conditions were better last summer And the Ontario Ministries of Environment and Health worked with municipalities and the public to combat mosquitoes where they bite and where they breed Only four cases of encephalitis were reported last summer We were lucky But we were also prepared We will be prepared again this summer Most mosquito bites will be simply a nuisance If however symptoms of encephalitis occur such as drowsiness loss of appehte fever headache nausea and vomiting consult your family doctor A free pamphlet on mosquito control Is available on request bom your local health unit or any office the Ministry of the Environment Hon Korr QC Minister
