Prevent mosquitoes from breeding. Mosquitoes breed in standing water, so the first step is to eliminate any sources of standing water around your home. This includes things like buckets, flowerpots, birdbaths, and old tires. You can also turn over wheelbarrows and trash cans to prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs in them. 

Use mosquito repellent. When you are outdoors, wear insect repellent that contains DEET, picaridin, or IR3535. Apply the repellent to exposed skin and clothing, and reapply it as directed. 

Install screens on windows and doors. Screens will help to keep mosquitoes out of your home. 

Get rid of standing water in your yard. Mosquitoes can breed in even the smallest amount of standing water, so it is important to get rid of any standing water around your yard. This includes things like puddles, birdbaths, and old tires. 

Aerate your compost pile. Mosquitoes can breed in compost piles, so it is important to aerate your compost pile regularly. This will help to prevent the build-up of standing water.
