Help Prevent Mosquito Breeding

West Nile virus was detected recently in Lee and Collier counties. Prevent its spread by keeping mosquitoes from breeding around your home.

• Make sure screens are in good repair so mosquitoes stay outside.
• Get rid of anything in your yard that could hold standing water (buckets, toys, tires).
• Keep swimming pools well maintained.
• Pick up litter around your property. A bottle cap filled with water can serve as a mosquito breeding ground!
• Keep saucers and flower pots free of standing water.
• Flush out water-holding plants like bromeliads at least once a week.
• Change pet water every day.
