WHY: Due to the high number of positive test results that we are getting this year, we are discontinuing issuing press releases on this topic (at least four have been issued in the last month or so). We will only be posting the treatment areas, dates/times on social media and our website. This is simply an alert to notify you of the treatment locations. We are continuing to monitor, trap, test, and treat in areas of concern to reduce the mosquito population and the chance of the public contracting West Nile virus.
