When is the best time to apply mosquito repellent?
Mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn, so apply your repellent before it gets dark and apply it if you wake up early. Where Dengue fever is present, use the repellent sparingly throughout the day because the mosquitoes that transmit dengue fever are active during the day. Sadly these mosquitoes also populate urban areas and being in the city doesn’t mean you are safe. If you choose to use natural repellents you will most likely have to apply these more often, but always read the instructions before use.
