Testing Announcement Tick Public Service Announcement The health and safety of our citizens is our top priority. The City of Titusville has been made aware of a tick problem at one of our facilities. We have spoken to pest management services and they have advised us that ticks do not live in mowed lawn areas but are prevalent in forested areas and high grass/weeds. They do not jump but attach to a host through contact and are usually spread by animals such as deer and mice. After some investigation it was determined that the ticks were likely picked up along a fence at the park where there was some taller grass. The City will be taking care of the high grass but would like the public to be aware and stay clear of areas where tall grass and weeds grow. Recommendations from the CDC for tick prevention are: Walk in the center of trails Use repellents that contain 20-30% DEET on exposed skin and clothing Bathe or shower within 2 hours after coming indoors Check your entire body for ticks with a mirror after returning from outdoors Examine your gear and pets to keep ticks from being brought inside Tumble clothes on high heat for an hour to kill any unfound ticks For more information visit https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/prev/index.html If you have questions or concerns please call the City Manager’s Office at 814-827-5300 ext. 314 Engineering RFQ for Park Projects Titusville Placemaking Placemaking is a people-centered approach to building strong, vibrant communities.

The goal of this process is to identify high-impact opportunity areas, complementing existing and past projects that address current challenges, and leverage existing assets for continued growth.
