WEST
NILE VIRUS
MOSQUITO CONTROL
We are continuing to treat municipally owned
bodies of water with larvicide to safeguard against the spread of the West Nile
Virus. Homeowners wishing to treat privately owned water sources may purchase
larvicide at local hardware stores and home improvement centers.

exterminate the mosquito egg, larva or adult stage of the insect. Treatment
