It’s important to protect your family from mosquito-borne illnesses. The best way to control the mosquito population in Broken Arrow is by not allowing them to breed in the first place.

It’s also important to protect yourself against mosquito bites, by wearing long sleeves and pants when possible and using mosquito repellent containing DEET when outside.
