State 8 disease vector preventive measures

Here are 8 disease vector preventive measures:

• Eliminating vector breeding sites, such as draining standing water to prevent mosquito larvae development.
• Using insect repellents on skin and clothing to deter biting insects.
• Wearing protective clothing, like long-sleeved shirts and pants, especially during peak vector activity hours.
• Installing and maintaining window and door screens to prevent vectors from entering homes.
• Using insecticide-treated bed nets while sleeping, particularly in areas with high mosquito-borne disease prevalence.
• Practicing proper waste management and sanitation to reduce habitats for rodents and other vectors.
• Applying insecticides or larvicides in targeted areas to control vector populations.
• Implementing biological control methods, such as introducing natural predators of vectors.
