#MosquitoMonday 🦟
Mosquitoes don't need much water to breed — just a small amount of standing water can become the perfect place for hundreds of mosquitoes to hatch.
This week, take a few minutes to walk around your yard and dump, drain, or refresh standing water from places like:
💧 Buckets and toys
💧 Bird baths (change water at least weekly)
💧 Pet dishes
💧 Flower pots and saucers
💧 Clogged gutters
💧 Tires and wheelbarrows
💧 Rain barrels (keep them covered)
💧 Boats and other outdoor equipment
Small steps can make a big difference in reducing mosquitoes around your home and lowering the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses.

🔥🌡️ Not only during this week's extreme heat — but every day — it's never safe to leave a child alone in a vehicle. With dangerously high temperatures expected this week, the risk is even greater!
A car can heat up to deadly temperatures in just minutes — even if it's parked in the shade, the windows are cracked, or you're only running a quick errand.
🚫 Never leave a child alone in a vehicle:
🟡 Not in the shade
🟡 Not with the windows down
🟡 Not "just for a minute"
