🦟 How to protect yourself from mosquito-borne illness 🛡️

Fall is almost here, but the Florida heat remains, and so do mosquitoes. We encourage you to be especially aware of mosquito-borne illnesses and what measures you can take to keep yourself safer.🌴☀️

🦠 Mosquitoes can spread illnesses such as Dengue Fever.

Here are a few simple ways to protect yourself and your family:
🧴 Use mosquito repellent when spending time outdoors.
🏠 Remember, mosquitoes can live indoors and may bite at any time—day or night!
💧 Stop mosquitoes from breeding by removing standing water around your home.
🔍 Check containers, flowerpots, gutters, toys and other items where water can collect.

📅 Want to know when mosquito spraying is scheduled in your area?

Let nature find you at Okaloosa County Parks.

Okaloosa County Facilities and Parks Maintenance crews pressure washed the pavilions, got new trash cans, brought in a new Port-O-Let restroom and had the new sign installed.

Laurel Hill Park, located at 7651 County Road 393 just south of Laurel Hill and is one of more than 60 County-maintained parks in Okaloosa County. County staff have been working with local residents to make this already beautiful park better, with future improvements and amenities.

It takes about 100 County employees to maintain all County-maintained parks and the nearly 1,100 acres of grass cut, keeping bathrooms clean, removing trash, and maintaining irrigation systems.

Parks staff aims to achieve a first-class experience for residents and visitors.
