#MosquitoMonday 🦟Tip: Dump Standing Water!
You may see larvicide application signs around Delaware County, like this one at the Brown Township Administration Building and ball park, after our team identifies mosquito larvae through routine sampling. Treating these areas helps stop mosquitoes before they become biting adults.
You can help, too! Dump any standing water around your home each week. Even small amounts of water can become mosquito breeding sites.

Our Public Health Nurses had a great time at Safety Town teaching kiddos one of the easiest ways to stay healthy — proper handwashing! 🧼👐
With the help of Glo Germ, children were able to see how germs can spread and discover the areas they may miss when washing their hands. This hands-on activity showed just how important proper handwashing is in helping protect ourselves and others from illnesses caused by germs.

Backyard chickens can bring a lot of joy, but they can also carry germs that can make people sick. With Campylobacteriosis and Salmonellosis ranking among the top five most reported diseases in the Health District in 2025, it's important for flock owners to take simple steps to protect their families and their birds.
🐔 Keep your flock healthy and your family safe by:
✔️ Washing your hands thoroughly after handling birds, eggs, or equipment
✔️ Limiting contact between your flock and wild birds
✔️ Wearing dedicated shoes and clothing when caring for your birds
✔️ Cooking eggs and poultry products thoroughly
✔️ Monitoring birds for signs of illness and reporting unusual sickness or sudden deaths to your veterinarian or agriculture department
