With all the rain we have experienced this week, take a few minutes to empty anything that holds standing water around your home. Stop mosquitoes before they have a chance to multiply and help protect the community from the spread of dengue fever.

We are experiencing heavy rains this week in the Tampa Bay area.
Stop mosquitoes before they have a chance to multiply and protect our community from the spread of dengue fever.
Mosquitoes can breed in surprisingly small amounts of standing water, even water that collects in a bottle cap. Make mosquito prevention part of your weekly routine by taking a few minutes to empty or cover anything that can hold water around your home.
At least once a week, check buckets, toys, birdbaths, gutters, coolers, tires, trash bins, pet water containers, and any place else that can hold water. Tip, toss, or cover standing water.
Together, we can help reduce mosquitoes and protect our families and communities from mosquito-borne illnesses.
