Answer: True

Explanation: spraying of bug spay is measure taken to kill disease carrying insects such as mosquito. mosquitoes may find it very difficult to breathe so therefore their activities are restricted.

Wearing of long sleeve and pant, staying in protected window screen and sleeping in an air conditioned room help to reduce the risk of mosquito-borne diseases. Air conditioning weakens the mosquitoes and make them cold, closing or securing windows helps stop them from biting humans.
