This decision is based in part on new Centers For Disease Control guidelines that recommend spraying when a number of positive birds are found dead within a given distance from one another. All residents continue to be advised by the Health Department that the best way to reduce the risk of infection is by protecting themselves by wearing mosquito repellents and protective clothing, including shoes, socks, long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Outdoor activities should be limited during peak periods of mosquito activity - between dusk and dawn. If you have placed flower vases that can hold water at cemeteries, empty any standing water and replace the containers with ones with holes in the bottom or with artificial arrangements that cannot hold water. Properly dispose of old tires.
Tires are a favorite breeding spot for mosquitoes.
Clean out roof gutters. Empty wading pools. Keep swimming pools and outdoor hot tubs covered and clean. Regularly empty water and debris from covers. Frequently change birdbaths or pets' water containers.
