COLLIER COUNTY
In the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, there continues to be many areas with
standing water. The Florida Department of Health in Collier County (DOH-Collier) reminds
everyone to do their part in preventing mosquito breeding. Residents are asked to “Drain and
Cover” to prevent mosquito-borne illness; it only takes a bottle cap of water for mosquitoes to
breed and multiply.
To protect against mosquitoes, DOH-Collier urges the public to “Drain and Cover”:
DRAIN standing water:
Drain water from garbage cans, buckets, pool covers, coolers, toys, flowerpots or any
other containers where sprinkler or rainwater has collected.
Discard old tires, drums, bottles, cans, pots and pans, broken appliances and other
items that are not being used.
Empty and clean birdbaths and pet's water bowls at least once or twice a week.
Protect boats and vehicles from rain with tarps that do not accumulate water.
Maintain swimming pools in good condition and appropriately chlorinated. Empty
plastic swimming pools when not in use.
COVER your skin with:
CLOTHING - If you must be outside when mosquitoes are active, cover up. Wear
shoes, socks, long pants and long sleeves.
REPELLENT - Apply mosquito repellent to bare skin and clothing. Always use
repellents according to the label. Repellents with 10-30 percent DEET, picaridin, oil
of lemon eucalyptus, and IR3535 are effective.
NETTING - Use mosquito netting to protect children younger than 2 months old.
COVER doors and windows with screens:
Keep mosquitoes out of your house. Repair broken screening on windows, doors,
porches, and patios.
TIPS on Eliminating Mosquito Breeding Sites:
Clean out troughs and gutters.
Remove old tires or drill holes in those used in playgrounds to drain.
Turn over or remove empty plastic pots.
Pick up all beverage containers and cups.
Check tarps on boats or other equipment that may collect water.
Replace water in birdbaths and pet or other animal feeding dishes at least once a
week.
2
Change water in plant trays, including hanging plants, at least once a week.
Remove vegetation or obstructions in drainage ditches that prevent the flow of water.
CHARLOTTE COUNTY
Tips for Insulin Dependent Residents: Insulin-dependent residents that do not have a way to keep the insulin refrigerated should contact their pharmacist. The length of time the insulin will last depends on the manufacturer, and their pharmacist should have the requirements for their insulin.
