Take The Bite Out Of Mosquito
 As mosquito season is on the horizon, you can keep you and your family safe by using the 3 Ds:
-
Dump or cover standing water.
-
Dress in loose, light-colored long sleeves and pants.
-
Defend by using a CDC-approved repellant such as DEET, picaridin, IR3535 or oil of lemon-eucalyptus.
To further protect yourself from bites and mosquito-borne illnesses, follow these tips:
- Avoid the outdoors during high mosquito-activity times, typically at dawn and dusk.
- Make sure screens are intact and repair any holes.
- Avoid propping open unscreened windows and doors.
Additional tips for keeping these bugs away include dumping standing water once a week, dumping water in pet dishes and bird baths, checking common places water accumulates, and treating or covering what cannot be dumped.
Pinellas County Mosquito Control provides mosquito treatment and prevention services to the entire county, including Clearwater addresses. Their technicians respond to service requests for mosquito treatment and prevention. They also regularly treat known breeding areas by ground and by air.
To request mosquito control service or a community speaker call (727) 464-7503.
