2005 Action Report
July 30, 2005
Adult Trapping counts have been very low. There have been no positive results from the State Lab for mosquitos having West Nile Virus.
There was one trapping site that resulted in high mosquito counts. The City Vector Control Crew did a door to door neighborhood check and found a large dog water tank that contained large amounts of mosquito larva. The problem has been corrected and trapping counts in that area have resulted in 3 mosquitos.
August and September are the peak West Nile virus months. Check your property for mosquito breeding sites and eliminate the standing water.
