Mosquito Season

How You Can Help Reduce Mosquitoes

  • Eliminate Standing Water
    Mosquitoes love water in items like tarps, unused pools, toys, boats, clogged gutters, or plant saucers.

 

  • Know Your Mosquitoes
    – Culex mosquitoes (which spread West Nile Virus and St. Louis Encephalitis) breed in woodlands, pools, roadside ditches, some containers, and even sewage treatment plants.  They also primarily bite at dusk and at night.
    – Aedes albopictus (a.k.a. Asian tiger mosquito, which can spread Jamestown Canyon Virus) prefers small containers with clean water and bits all times of the day.  They are smaller and have striped legs.

 

  • Protect Yourself
    – Avoid the outdoors during peak biting times.
    – Wear long sleeves, pants, and closed shoes whenever possible.
    – Use insect repellents (there are natural options too)
    – Install outdoor fans because mosquitoes are weak fliers!

Red Cross Battle of Badges Blood Drive

Community comes together in times of need, and now that spirit is needed more than ever. The Red Cross is reporting that hospitals are experiencing serious blood shortage, and local patients are depending on generous donors to help ensure lifesaving blood is available when it is needed most.

The Red Cross is asking residents to consider supporting and participating in their upcoming community drive, New Britain Battle of the Badges. A single donation of blood can help save more than one life, and every donor has the power to make a meaningful difference for patients facing surgery, cancer treatment, traumatic injuries, and other medical emergencies.

Please join in helping meet this urgent need by signing up to donate blood at the Red Cross’ upcoming drive:
