To protect children from mozzies:

Limit their outdoor activity when mosquito numbers are high.
Make sure they wear long, loose-fitting clothing outdoors.

Apply a thin, even layer of mosquito repellent to all exposed skin, avoiding hands, eyes and mouth. Choose a lower strength repellent for young children and babies (no more than 20% picaridin or DEET).

If your child has sensitive skin (or is bothered by the smell of DEET) use picaridin or apply repellent to their clothes instead.

Drape a mosquito net over the pram, stroller or infant carrier (make sure there are no gaps).
