5 Good habits that help fight dengue and chikungunya

It goes without saying that good habits can go a long way in helping you stay fit and disease-free. The same rule applies when it comes to fighting dengue and chikungunya. You can prevent yourself from dengue and chikungunya by adapting a few good habits:

 

Cover all water storage/holding containers

One of the common mistakes that most of us commit unknowingly is to leave buckets, water storage tanks and matkas uncovered. It is recommended to always cover any containers that are filled with water.

 

Dengue and chikungunya mosquitoes can breed even in a teaspoon of water, hence make sure you throw away any remnant water in buckets or storage containers. It is a good idea to upturn these containers when not in use to prevent breeding of mosquitoes.

 

Also, make sure your dust bin is covered 24X7 as open trash cans can attract mosquitoes.

 

 

 

Cover windows with netting or screening

Make sure to cover windows and open doors with screens and/or nets. Not only will this help in preventing mosquitoes from entering your house but also ensure proper ventilation, unlike keeping the doors and windows closed for long periods of time.

 

Dengue and chikungunya mosquitoes usually hide behind curtains and in dark corners of a room. Hence, check for the presence of mosquitoes in these places before closing your doors and windows. To prevent mosquito bites, use household repellents like Good knight Activ+ and Good knight Fast Card.

 

 

 

Never let water stay in potted plants and AC/fridge trays

If you have potted plants at home, then make sure you do not overwater these plants as excess water can act as a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

 

Make sure you clean these plants from time to time and avoid keeping empty flower pots or indoor plants to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.

 

Water collected in the cooler or air conditioner and refrigerator trays should be emptied regularly to prevent dengue and chikungunya mosquitoes from breeding in your house.

 

 

 

Use household mosquito repellents even during the day as you do in the night

Yes, instead of using mosquito repellents only during evenings or at night, use it during the day as well, especially during the early hours. Unlike the mosquitoes that cause malaria, dengue and chikungunya-causing mosquitoes prefer biting during the day time. This does not mean that the mosquitoes do not bite at night. Hence, along with using mosquito repellents at night, switch on and use the same during the day as well – #SubahBoloGoodKnight.

Use personal mosquito repellent each time you step out of home
