  CPS advised Dengue prevention by eliminating standing water around your home, using mosquito repellent and wearing long sleeves and pants, especially during dawn and dusk. Further support Dengue prevention efforts by properly disposing of trash and covering water storage containers.

  For issues related to mosquito breeding sites, contact CPS vector control at 914. "Let's work together to stop the spread of Dengue."
