Collecting birds and testing them for the West Nile virus allows for better tracking of the virus. There is no evidence that birds transmit WNV to people. Not all dead birds need to be tested. Call the Environmental Health Unit at 386-2818 to determine if a dead bird needs to be picked up for testing. Remove discarded tires.
Used tires are mosquito breeding sites.
Make sure roof gutters drain properly. Turn over plastic wading pools, toys and wheelbarrows that can hold water. Change water in birdbaths. Clean vegetation and debris from ponds. Clean and chlorinate swimming pools, outdoor saunas and hot tubs.
