The wet spring has left a lot of standing water throughout the
District; ideal for the development of mosquitoes, especially
nuisance species. We have been out treating many of the sites
that have larvae developing in them. It is likely we will have
a significant population of nuisance mosquitoes showing up when
the weather gets warm. Our mosquito traps are up and monitoring
the mosquito population. Testing mosquitoes for the presence of
West Nile Virus(WNV) will begin shortly. At this time,
transmission of WNV to humans is very unlikely.
