6. Wear protective clothing Mosquitoes are attracted to exposed skin. Wear long-sleeves, pants and socks especially in the evenings. Mosquitoes are also attracted to dark colors, so light colored clothing is better. 7. Keep doors and windows screened Use mosquito screens on all doors and windows in your home. Additionally, repair any holes in screens to prevent mosquito entry 8. Community sanitation effort Support and participate in local malaria prevention campaigns. Large scale mosquito control requires community efforts. Finally seek early treatment. Mild malaria can become severe if left untreated. If you develop fever or chills after visiting a malaria endemic zone, get tested immediately. Early treatment saves lives.
