Mosquito Control:

• Eliminate standing water where mosquitoes breed (e.g., tires, buckets, flowerpots).
• Use larvicides in water containers that cannot be emptied.
• Install window screens and use mosquito nets.

• Personal Protection:
  • Wear long-sleeved clothing and use insect repellent (DEET, picaridin, or IR3535).
  • Stay indoors during peak mosquito activity (dawn and dusk).

• Community Efforts:
  • Support local mosquito control programs.
  • Report mosquito breeding sites to authorities.

Rationale: Dengue is transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, so preventing mosquito bites and reducing breeding sites are key strategies.
