Are you seeing an increase in mosquitoes as you enjoy the beautiful summer weather?

We encourage you to practice the 5 Ds!

• 🌇Dusk/Dawn 🌅– Avoid dusk and dawn activities during the summer when mosquitoes are most active.
• 🧥Dress – Wear loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirts and pants to reduce the amount of exposed skin.
• 🦟DEET – Cover exposed skin with an insect repellent containing DEET, which is the most effective repellent against mosquito bites.
• 🪣Drain – Empty any containers holding standing water – buckets, barrels, flowerpots, tarps – because they are breeding grounds for virus-carrying mosquitoes.
• 🚪Doors – Make sure doors and windows are in good repair and fit tightly, and fix torn or damaged screens to keep mosquitoes out of the house.
