How do I Best Avoid Getting Bit by Insects?

In addition to using Coleman Repellent products, there are other measures you can take to avoid being part of an insects breakfast, lunch or dinner. It’s not just the bite and irritation that comes with it that put you at risk. Mosquitoes can carry serious diseases such as West Nile Virus, Encephalitis, Yellow Fever, Malaria, and Dengue Fever. Ticks have long been known carriers of Lyme Disease. Instances of mosquito borne Rocky Mountain Fever are also rising dramatically. Here are a few tips to protect yourself and your family against these blood-feeding insects and the diseases they can carry.

Keep mosquitoes from breeding by emptying or covering any receptacles around the home that can pool water.
  • Keep mosquitoes from breeding by emptying or covering any receptacles around the home that can pool water.
  • Gutters should be kept clean so water flows properly.
  • Change the water in birdbaths every few days.
  • Cover wading pools, hot tubs and outdoor saunas.
  • Make your local health department aware of standing water in your area.
When outdoors, wear protective clothing when appropriate.

 

  • Loose, long-sleeve shirts and long pants, shoes and socks all help to keep insects from contact with your skin.
  • Keep the colors light as mosquitoes are more attracted to darker hues.
Avoid and Repel Mosquitoes
  • Use a Coleman Yard & Camp Fogger around your campsite once a day to keep the bugs at bay.
  • Use personal repellent, like 40% Deet or SkinSmart, on all exposed skin.
  • Consider using mosquito netting, like those available from Coleman, if the bugs are exceptionally bad.
  • Wear light colored clothing. Mosquitoes aren’t as attracted to it.
  • Don’t set up camp near stagnant water or swampy areas, swamps are usually home to many biting insects.
  • Pitch your tent entrance facing the breeze so mosquitoes don’t congregate at your door.
  • Look for a campground that is regularly treated for mosquitoes. They will still have some, but not as many as an untreated site.
  • Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk. During these times, change into long pants, long sleeved shirts, socks and shoes to protect yourself.
  • Avoid scented personal products while camping. They can be a strong attractant for bugs.
Avoid, Repel and Remove Ticks
  • Avoid ticks by staying on the trails and avoiding dense, grassy areas.
  • If you find a tick on your person, grab it with some tweezers to remove it. Don’t crush the tick’s body because this can cause bacteria to enter your skin. Once you remove the tick, wash the area with soap & water. If you believe part of the tick is still in your skin, see a medical professional.
  • Wear light colored clothing, ticks can be seen more easily on light colors.
  • Use personal repellent, like 40% Deet or SkinSmart, on all exposed skin.
