Help Prevent Mosquitoes This Summer
Due to recent rains, we are seeing an uptick of mosquitoes in the community. Mosquitoes lay eggs in stagnate or slow-moving water, moist soil, leaf litter and other areas likely to collect water. With the increase in mosquitoes, follow health and safety measures:
-
Remove standing water in uncovered boats, open trash bins, fountains, clogged rain gutters and water bowls for pets.
Repellent should also not be used on young infants. Read more about staying safe this summer!
