Record Rainfall and Mosquitos:
Residents Encouraged to Take Precautions

With the record rainfall the region has experienced this month, Weston residents should take precautions now against the risk of EEE and the West Nile Virus mosquito-borne illnesses.

Empty Standing Water

Take time to empty any source of standing water on your property to prevent breeding, such as:

Neglected toys
Kiddie pools
Wheelbarrows
Bird baths
Tarps
Garden containers

Also clean out any clogged gutters, which is a common source for mosquitoes, and repair any holes in screens.

Personal Protection is Important

The hours between dusk to dawn are peak mosquito biting time. Residents should take personal precautions when outdoors to avoid getting bitten:

wear long pants and sleeves
wear closed shoes and make sure ankles are covered
apply an EPA-approved repellent
