WEST NILE VIRUS

A case of West Nile Virus was reported recently in Palm Beach County. There has been a jump in mosquito-borne disease activity in our area, and we want to make sure you know how to reduce mosquitoes around your home.

  • Mosquitoes breed in standing water, so drain any containers that water has been collected.
  • Discard old and broken appliances from around the home.
  • Empty and clean bird bathes and outside pet bowls twice a week.
  • Protect all vehicles with tarps to avoid water build up.
  • Maintain pools with chlorine.
  • Cover your skin with clothing or repellent.

If all else fails, we can offer you a mosquito misting or our In2Care mosquito traps!
