There are a number of precautions that you can take to avoid being bitten by insects.
Cover exposed skin by wearing long sleeves and trousers when entering areas where insects are active
Avoid using sweet smelling products such as perfumes, body lotions, soaps and shampoos as insects are attracted to them
Use insect repellent in areas where fleas, mosquitoes, flies or ticks are common
Treat pets regularly with anti-flea preparations
Destroy nests or areas where insects may build nests in your home such as the attic, vents or window frames
Cover food when outdoors at picnics or cookouts
Avoid campsites near water such as swamps or ponds
Wash bedding regularly at a high temperature to avoid bedbugs
Sleep under a mosquito net or use mosquito traps and magnets to control them
Apply insect repellant that contain DEET (diethyltoluamide) to your skin
Use topical applications of citronella, lavender, tea tree oil and eucalyptus oils for mosquito bites
When traveling to tropical areas ensure that you have the necessary vaccines and medications and your accommodation has insect-proof screen doors, and windows that close properly
