To prepare for mosquito season, Mississippians can protect themselves by using mosquito repellent, covering their arms and legs, avoiding mosquito-prone areas, removing sources of standing water, and using mosquito netting. Additionally, they can protect their homes by repairing septic systems, keeping grass and shrubbery trimmed, and disposing of containers that can hold water.
