Visibility is important if a child slips below the water, and bright colors stand out. Colors like white, blue and gray can be hard to see.

Bright is best! 🔴🟠🟡

Mosquitoes can breed in as little as a quarter-inch of water.

Don't give 'em the chance.

Clean gutters, empty containers, flush bird baths and dispose of old tires that might hold stagnant water where the pests can breed.

It can cause a painful rash that can be prevented with a vaccine. The vaccine also might help protect against dementia, according to recent promising research.
