Offices aren't immune to mosquito-borne diseases like dengue, malaria, and chikungunya. A single mosquito bite can lead to serious illness and downtime. Check out practical office-friendly measures that will help you stay safe and productive. Tap to read!
Use Mosquito Repellents
Apply mosquito repellents that are safe for skin application, especially on areas exposed like the arms and ankles.
Wear Protective Clothing
Long sleeves and full-length pants with light colours are preferred to minimise skin exposure and mosquitoes' attraction.
Keep Windows and Doors screened
Make sure office windows and doors have fine mesh screens installed to block mosquitoes from entering.
Avoid Stagnant Water
Make sure to regularly drain the water from flower pots, coolers, or any other containers to prevent mosquito breeding grounds.
Electric Mosquito Trappers or Zappers
Set up indoor mosquito traps or UV zappers in corners and near entrances to reduce their population.
Natural Repellents Inside
Position mosquito-repelling plants like tulsi, lemongrass, or citronella close to a corner or around desks.
Maintain Cleanliness
Keep the office clean and free from clutter. Mosquitoes prefer hiding in dark, dank, and messy locations.
