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. ALSO, MOSQUITOES ARE KNOWN TO SPREAD THE PATHOGENS THAT CAUSE SEVERAL DISEASES--INCLUDING "WEST NILE VIRUS", "DENGUE", AND "ZIKA". YOU CAN HELP REDUCE MOSQUITOES BY THINNING OUTDOOR VEGETATION--AS WELL AS ELIMINATING BREEDING-SITES, BY EMPTYING CONTAINERS THAT COLLECT WATER, SUCH AS GUTTERS, BIRD-BATHS, AND PET-WATER BOWLS. WHAT'S MORE, SINCE MOSQUITOES BITE--DAY AND NIGHT--YOU SHOULD PROTECT BOTH YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY FROM BITES, BY USING INSECT-REPELLENT OR "PERMETHRIN"-TREATED CLOTHING. ALSO, YOU SHOULD INSTALL AND MAINTAIN SCREENS ON BOTH 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.
