This article explains the importance of bringing mosquito spray with you as well as some of the advantages of Skeet-R-Gone. The Nile is the longest river in the world. It flows through Rwanda, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan, Sudan, and Egypt. In many ways it is the source of life and commerce for much of Africa.

Fortunately you only need to concern yourself with the East side of the Nile, which saves time and money.
About The West Nile Virus:
Why? Because mosquitoes are bringing the West Nile to you. In the 2011 Center for Disease Control study forty-five states had reports of West Nile Virus in humans. While the West Nile Virus is rarely fatal. 80% of all people infected don’t even know they have it. However. it can have serious symptoms including neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness, and paralysis.
How Can You Avoid The Virus?
How do you avoid infections? First, strange as it sounds, don’t pick up any dead birds. Not sure why you would want to ap way but don’t. Resist the urge. West Nile is very good at killing birds, crows in particular. If you do not know how the bird was killed (cat?) then assume it died of illness. If you must move a bird, use gloves or a shovel/scoop. West Nile is spread by mosquitoes biting infected birds and then biting you. Touching the bird will save the mosquito time and energy.
The next question becomes – How do I control mosquitoes?
Glad you asked. Besides the standard suggestions about eliminating their breeding areas, you can simply kill them. This works pretty well to stop their biting. There is a system that can do that using your existing irrigation system. This means it covers your entire yard, not just part. It also means the insecticide goes to the low places that the water drains to.
Skeet-R-Gone Liquid Pest Repellent:
Bringing mosquito spray is important, however, Skeet-R-Gone could be another valuable option.
