CORPUS CHRISTI (Kiii News) -
Mosquito populations are expected to increase in coming days, after the little bit of rain we received here in the Coastal Bend.
So what can you do to keep mosquito populations low and, in turn, decrease the chances of coming into contact with West Nile virus?
The number one tip is to eliminate all sources of standing water. That includes empty cans, tires, buckets, clogged rain gutters and saucers under potted plants.
Other preventative measures include using insect repellant that contains DEET, dressing in long sleeves and long pants and staying indoors at dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active.
