Mosquitoes infected with West Nile virus (WNV) have been detected in a portion of the county.

Our mosquito-management program largely focuses on preventing mosquitoes from reaching the adult biting stage by proactively targeting immature stages of mosquitoes found in standing water. However, when a mosquito with WNV is detected, we take the added step of conducting adult-mosquito-control treatments.
It is critical that we conduct adult mosquito control treatments upon finding a positive mosquito. Any delay in the adult mosquito control treatment would present an imminent threat to public health and safety. This could expose the public to potential vector-borne illness, or even death. The adult-mosquito-control treatments reduce the mosquito population in the area, which decreases the risk of a WNV-human infection.
