The WA Department of Health has detected Ross River Virus (RRV) in mosquitoes in the Crawley area.
Mosquito Bite Prevention Tips:
Be Aware: Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk but can bite at any time.
Cover Up: Wear long, loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing to protect exposed skin.
Repel: Apply insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, or Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE/PMD) to all exposed skin.
Clean Up: Prevent mosquito breeding by removing, emptying, or covering water-holding containers around your home.
