When you are working the garden, try to avoid dawn or dusk, which are the prime times when mosquitoes come out biting. If you are in the garden at dawn or dusk, try to wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts. If you are in the garden during these times, apply insect repellent according to label instructions. Products containing DEET have been shown to last longer than other products.

Fight the bite, and act accordingly.

If one person goes into their garden and empties stagnant water out of a wheelbarrow or old saucer, I will be happy.

It is human nature to think, "It won't happen to me." But it does. West Nile Virus is nothing to mess around with.
