Mosquito Control

Drain standing water around your home and yard.
Dress wearing long sleeves and long pants when going outdoors.
During dusk/dawn - avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are most active.

Food Safety

Use separate cutting boards and utensils for raw meat and ready-to-eat items like vegetables or bread.
Keep perishable food cold until it is ready to cook.
Use a food thermometer to make sure meat and poultry are cooked thoroughly to their safe minimum temperatures.
Always use a fresh, clean plate and tongs for serving cooked food. Never reuse items that touched raw meat or poultry to serve the food once it is cooked.
Perishable food should not sit out for more than two hours and when in hot weather above 90°F, food should never sit out for more than one hour.

Keeping Our Pets Safe

Ensure that your cat or dog is microchipped and wearing and identification tag imprinted with your home address, cell phone number, and other relevant information.
Make sure your pet is on a year-round heartworm preventative medication, as well as flea and tick control.
Check your pets daily for ticks. If your pet has a tick, remove carefully with tweezers by gripping as close to the skin as possible and pull straight out with steady pressure.
When on road trips, long or short, make sure your pet is secured in a seatbelt harness designed especially for them.
