Did you know that mosquitoes only need a bottle cap's worth of water to breed? Check around your home or business for any place that can hold even the smallest amount of water. Be sure to dump any standing water and remove potential water gathering hazards.

Heads up, Tampa! 🚁 Hillsborough County is performing specialized aerial mosquito control due to dengue fever. Helicopters will be flying at low altitudes, applying liquid Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis), a natural bacterium that does not harm people or animals.
The image is a flyer for mosquito management in Hillsborough County, Florida. It features a blue helicopter with the text "What's that BUZZ?" A message explains that the helicopter is part of efforts to reduce mosquito populations. Instructions to "Dump Standing Water" are provided with illustrations of plant pots, birdbaths, old tires, buckets, pool covers, and gutters. The Hillsborough County government website for mosquito operations is included.

Two are wearing red vests with the American Red Cross logo, and one is wearing a shirt with the logo. The group is smiling and appears to be enjoying the moment.
