However, use caution when spending time outdoors if mosquitoes are around, especially at dawn and dusk. Encourage the senior to wear socks and shoes, a light material, long-sleeved shirt and long cotton pants if they\u2019ll be outdoors for longer periods of time. This reduces the risk of exposure, leaving less skin available for a mosquito to bite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DEET and Other Mosquito Repellants <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For any exposed skin, consider using a high-quality mosquito\nrepellant. There are many store bought brands containing DEET that are quite effective,\nbut some seniors also have luck with more natural varieties such as lavender\noil, lemon eucalyptus oil or thyme and cinnamon. Use caution when choosing a brand,\nand always consult with your physician to ensure there isn\u2019t potential for\ninteractions between any medications your loved one is taking and the mosquito\nrepellant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evening Exercise and Mosquito Bites <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your loved one enjoys <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/san-gabriel-valley\/blog\/box-exercise-programs-active-seniors\/\">outdoor exercise<\/a>, encourage them to avoid getting sweaty outdoors in the evening hours and especially the two hours immediately following sunset when mosquitoes are most active. Mosquitoes are attracted to heat and sweat, so if you\u2019re exercising when they\u2019re active, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll get bit. Morning exercise or early evenings before the sun goes down are better choices this time of year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mosquito Prevention at Home <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another very effective way to reduce opportunities for mosquito bites is to make sure the area around your home is not a good breeding ground for the insects.  Here are a few tips for accomplishing that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reduce or eliminate standing water by disposing of tin cans,\nplastic containers or other similar water-holding containers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remove leaves and debris from your loved one\u2019s yard promptly.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have potted plants, drill holes in the bottom of the pots\nso that water does not stand for too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure roof gutters are draining properly and away from\nthe house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have plastic wading pools, wheelbarrows or standing\nwater in fountains in your yard, turn them upside down when not in use, and\nensure they remain clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a swimming pool or hot tub, keep it clean and\nchlorinated<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use proper landscaping to eliminate standing water in your yard,\nand keep it maintained or hire a company to help you with this chore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mosquitoes love to buzz around and disrupt summertime fun, and they can also pose health hazards for your senior loved one. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/san-gabriel-valley\/\">Salus Homecare of San Gabriel Valley<\/a> reminds you to encourage your loved one to stay safe by following these simple steps.
