How can I prevent West Nile virus infection?
Use insect repellent containing DEET. Try to stay indoors in the early morning and evening when mosquito activity is highest. Help to reduce the number of mosquitoes by eliminating standing water in flower pots, pet water dishes, bird baths, buckets, barrels, and cans.
