    3) Also block any unnecessary openings or holes in your windows and doors.

    8) Since humidity is on the higher side during monsoons, it is important to take shower form time to time, to keep yourself clean, and avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes.

    9) Make sure to wear light-colored (preferably white) clothing, because mosquitoes are attracted to darker colors.
