As mosquito season ramps up, we want to remind our community about the risks of mosquito-borne diseases. In recent weeks, there have been reports of increased mosquito activity in certain regions, and with that comes the potential for the spread of diseases like West Nile virus, Zika, and malaria. While not all mosquitoes carry diseases, it is essential to take extra precautions during peak mosquito activity months. Always stay informed about the types of mosquitoes active in your area and the diseases they may carry.

We encourage all our visitors to regularly check local health department updates and stay up-to-date on the latest mosquito control strategies. Using personal protection, such as applying insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants, and avoiding outdoor activities during peak mosquito hours, can help reduce the risk of being bitten. Additionally, make sure to eliminate any potential breeding grounds in your yard, such as standing water in birdbaths, planters, or gutters. By staying vigilant and taking preventive measures, you can protect yourself and your loved ones from the dangers of mosquito-borne diseases.
