Game day prep is not complete without insect repellent. Mosquitoes are active during afternoon and evening outdoor events. A quick application of EPA-registered repellent before you head out is one of the simplest ways to stay protected in the stands. 🏈🦟

Game night is not the only time mosquitoes are around. Players, performers, and coaches spend hours outside at practice every week, so keeping EPA-registered repellent in the gear bag helps protect them every time they head out, not just on Friday. 🏈🦟

Mosquitoes need a small amount of water to develop, and stadium grounds have plenty of places for water to collect. Athletic departments, facilities staff, or volunteers can build a grounds check into their weekly routine to reduce mosquito habitat before the crowds arrive. 🏈🦟

Evening games overlap with the hours when many mosquitoes are most active, and stadiums are full of people to bite. Repellent is a simple addition to your game day routine that helps protect you from bites and mosquito-borne diseases. 🏈🦟

Tailgating is a game day tradition, but proper cleanup is the part people sometimes skip. Water can collect in discarded cups, cans, bottle caps, buckets, tarps, and coolers, creating habitat for developing mosquitoes. Emptying or packing up anything that holds water before you leave helps reduce mosquitoes in the area. 🏈🦟
