Home and surroundings



Protect your child from waterborne or mosquito-related diseases that are common during the rainy season by keeping your home and surroundings clean and germ-free.

Air your home frequently and keep windows open for maximum cross ventilation. Avoid collection of stagnant water in open vessels, flower pots or coolers as these are a perfect breeding ground for mosquito larvae which cause malaria and dengue. Dispose garbage hygienically in garbage bags that will not open and spill out. Keep the kitchen dustbin covered at all times so that wet garbage like vegetable peels and food waste are not left exposed.

If you have indoor plants, ensure that there is no water logging and change water in the flower vases everyday. Use insect repellents to get rid of mosquitoes and other insects; you may want to opt for herbal repellents like citronella-based oils or sprays. Use mosquito nets over your child's bed or install wire screens on the windows. Dress him up in long-sleeved shirts and pants, especially when he goes outdoors to play.

Keep your home fresh and clean and use a good disinfectant to clean the floors and bathrooms. Get pest control for your home to ward off flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, termites, and other disease carrying insects. Keep a small mesh bag of cloves near your window or in your cupboard for a fresh natural scent.
