BUGS ARE A BUZZ KILL

Bugs cannot bite you, if they cannot find you.

Wear light-coloured long-sleeved shirts and pants, and a hat.
Use an insect repellant that contains DEET.
Try staying indoors at dawn and dusk, when mosquitos are most active.
Check all windows and door screens; repair any holes.
Check for ticks after walking through vegetation; if you find one, remove it appropriately as soon as possible.
