Environmental Services- +West Nile Mosquito
Texas Department of Human Health Services has confirmed that mosquitoes in the South Montgomery County/Woodlands area have tested positive for West Nile Virus. Response protocols are being implemented, including additional surveillance, targeted spraying by Montgomery County Pct. 3 and follow-up testing.
The Community Associations of The Woodlands, Environmental Services Department urges residents to take precautions to protect their families from the risk of mosquito-borne disease.
- Wear mosquito repellent, according to product directions. Avoid being out of doors from dusk to dawn when Culex mosquitoes are active. If you must go out, wear long, light, loose clothing.
- Eliminate standing water that creates breeding sites. Check landscape, plant saucers, toys, bird baths, meter boxes and other items that hold water.
- Treat water that can not be eliminated with larvicide, such as mosquito dunks.
