"Last month Pasco County's Mosquito Control District rallied resources to the west end of the county after some locally acquired cases of dengue. Then came hurricanes Helene and Milton. One inundated the coasts while the other caused river flooding inland. Now county officials are working to control the dengue outbreak while fighting a potential flareup of other mosquito-borne illnesses at the east end of the county. We speak again with executive director Adriane Rogers" #MosquitoControl #CommunitySafety #DenguePrevention #FloridaStrong #PascoProud #FMCA
🌧️🦟 After recent, back-to-back Hurricanes Helene and Milton, our Executive Director is here to share vital updates on our mosquito mitigation efforts! With recent cases of locally acquired dengue virus, it’s more important than ever to protect ourselves. Please remember to dump and drain any standing water around your home to limit mosquito breeding and use insect repellent.
