Living in Southwest Florida means living with mosquitos. The CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) posted a “Build Your Own Zika Prevention Kit” available to anyone with an internet connection. For both you and your family’s safety, please take a moment to review an excerpt of the post in the information below.

If you live in a state or area with the mosquito that spreads the Zika virus and you are concerned about Zika, learn how to build your own Zika Prevention Kit.

Your kit should include items that will reduce your risk of getting Zika. Reducing the risk for Zika is particularly important for pregnant women.

Your kit should include:

  • A bed net

  • Insect repellent

  • Permethrin spray

  • Standing water treatment tabs

  • Condoms
