Once again, mosquitoes are dictating when and where
Floridians can go outside their homes. Warmer weather mixed with
afternoon showers create a haven for the mosquito to dwell. Mosquitoes
are not only a pest that itches when they bite, but can transmit
serious and sometimes fatal illnesses such as West Nile Virus,
malaria, encephalitis and dengue fever. Please be careful and continue
to check for updates regarding mosquitos.
