During this holiday season, please be mindful of mosquitoes and ticks for the winter. Tree hugging mosquitoes may become active on warm afternoons, especially up in tree stands with deer season lasting through January. So please be sure to wear repellant.

Ticks and other species are also a year-round problem and remain active in the winter. For safety precautions after your outdoor activities always check your body and clothes for ticks.

Stay warm, dry and safe this holiday season. For more information visit:  https://dph.georgia.gov/protect-against-georgia%E2%80%99s-mosquitoes-ticks-and-fleas or https://www.cdc.gov/features/stay-active/.
