Eggs cannot hatch unless they are in
water.
Since old tires are often a valuable
addition on farms, used for holding
down tarpaulins on hunker silos and
elsewhere. Matt Moxham, West Nile
Co-ordinator with the Huron County
Health Unit urges farmers to make
sure they drill holes in any tires they
want to keep so the rain water can
drain out.
Most of these mosquitoes cannot
travel far so cleaning up breeding
areas in your own backyard can be a
major step toward protecting your
family and your livestock.
Being outside is an essential part
of a farm family's work but it puts
family members at risk.
Apply insect repellent containing
DEET to exposed skin whenever you
are outdoors, officials advise.
Repellents with more than 50 per
cent DEET should not be used on
children. Formulations containing 5-
10 per cent DEET will work just as
well as those containing 90 per cent
or more, however they will not last as
long.
Repellents applied to the skin and
clothing will prevent mosquito bites
for one to five hours, depending on
the person, the type of repellent and
the active ingredient it contains and
the number of mosquitoes.
When possible, wear long sleeves.
long pants and socks when outdoors.
Treating clothes with insect
repellents containing DEET or
permethrin will give extra protection
since mosquitoes may bite through
thin clothing. Don't, however, apply
repellents containing permethrin
directly to the skin and don't spray
repellent containing DEET on skin
under your clothing.
Though some mosquitoes bite in
the day, the peak mosquito biting
times are from dusk to dawn.
Consider rearranging your schedule
so you don't have to be out in that
period or take extra care to use
repellents and protective clothing
during those periods.
Horses allowed outside at night
during mosquito season, particularly
at dusk, are also at risk, Woodcock
said. Bring them in if possible, but if
they're inside, put fly screens on
windows. Don't leave doors open
and lights on that will attract
mosquitoes. Incandescent lighting
seems to attract mosquitoes more
