The 2022 mosquito season is drawing to a close with a dramatic finale after the recent downpours.
The Code Compliance Department has been monitoring mosquito populations and the risk of West Nile virus all summer, with few mosquitoes caught in the 60-plus traps set weekly.
Mosquito surveillance is a significant prevention tool used by the City to collect and identify mosquitoes and test them for diseases such as West Nile virus. Surveillance and testing activities occur weekly from May through the end of October.
Prevention is the absolute key to help control mosquitoes that spread viruses. Adult mosquitoes live inside and outside, and they can bite during daytime and evening hours. Even a few infected mosquitoes can produce large outbreaks in a community.
