- Clean the plants of the house, keep the drains clean and do not allow water to remain in the pool or bucket. Keep lids on water utensils. If you run the cooler, then keep cleaning it or else run the cooler after taking out the water.
- Keep your house and surrounding area clean. Maintaining cleanliness reduces the risk of mosquitoes breeding.
- Dengue spreads more in monsoon, so try not to go to rainy places. If you are planning to travel somewhere, then instead of going in monsoon, go in summer or winter.
