⛱️ Summer = outdoors!! Camping, hiking, cookouts, and parks make summer great. Enjoying nature also means exposure to ticks.

🤒 Don't let the tick get you sick!

👉 How do I properly prevent tick illnesses?

⛺️ Check body and clothing for ticks after being outdoors.
🦟 Use EPA-registered Insect Repellent.
🧦 Tuck your pant legs into your socks for best practice tick avoidance.
🐾 Use a tick prevention product for your dog as recommended by a veterinarian.

🤫 Do you know what mosquitoes love more than buzzing your face when you're trying to sleep?

🪣 Standing water. Warm, still, slimy, and hidden from sight so they can breed en mass.

☔️ It just rained for a week straight.

🔎 Check your property and remove any sources of standing water.

❗️Tip! Toss! Cover!

🐕 Dog bowls
🚗 Tires
🪴 Pots
🌧 Gutters
👶 Baby pools
🐦 Birdbaths
🪣 Buckets
🍖 BBQs
and consider using mosquito dunks in ditches and trenches.

🩹 Prevention is the key!

🤳 If you have questions, including the need to spray your property or business, contact our Skeeter Be**er Superheroes! City of Chesapeake Government Chesapeake Mosquito Control Commission!
