The best way to prevent West Nile virus disease is to avoid mosquito bites.

Do this by practicing the "Three D's." 
  • Drain standing water from your yard. Empty standing water in flowerpots, buckets and kiddie pools.
  • Don't go out at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes feed without protective clothing (long sleeves and pants).
  • Do use insect repellents with the active ingredient DEET when you go outdoors.
