"ORKIN" AND THE "C-D-C" REMIND EVERYBODY THAT SUMMER IS MOSQUITO-SEASON: MOSQUITO-POPULATIONS DEPEND ON WARM WEATHER--AND THE PRIME MOSQUITO-SEASON, FOR MOST OF THE U-S, IS SUMMER INTO EARLY FALL. MOSQUITOES ARE KNOWN TO SPREAD THE PATHOGENS THAT CAUSE SEVERAL DISEASES--INCLUDING "WEST NILE", "CHIKUNGUNYA", AND "ZIKA". SO, HOMEOWNERS CAN HELP REDUCE MOSQUITOES, BY THINNING OUTDOOR VEGETATION, USING WINDOW-SCREENS, AND EMPTYING CONTAINERS WITH STANDING WATER--AS WELL AS CLEANING OUT GUTTERS, SO THAT THE WATER CAN FLOW. SINCE MOSQUITOES BITE--DAY AND NIGHT--PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY FROM MOSQUITO-BITES, BY USING INSECT-REPELLANT ANYTIME YOU GO OUTSIDE--OR "PERMETHRIN"-TREATED CLOTHING. ALSO, INSTALL SCREENS ON YOUR WINDOWS AND DOORS, TO KEEP MOSQUITOES OUT. IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT TO GET BITTEN BY AN INFECTED MOSQUITO--SO PROTECT YOURSELF, EVERY TIME YOU GO OUTSIDE. FOR MORE TIPS, VISIT "ORKIN"-DOT-COM--OR "C-D-C"-DOT-GOV.
