West Nile tips
The best protection against West Nile Virus is preventing
mosquito bites. The following is a simple reminder of four
steps you can take to prevent those pesky bites.
1. Dawn and dusk are the times of day that mosquitoes are
most active. Avoid outdoor activities at these times.
2. Dress appropriately when outdoors for long periods of
time or when mosquitoes are most active. Wear long sleeves,
pants, shoes and socks, and clothing that is tightly woven to
prevent mosquitoes from coming in contact with your skin.
3. Use insect repellant with an EPA-approved active ingredi
ent such as DEET. Always follow the directions on the pack
age for safest and most effective use. i >**|
4. Areas with standing water are locations where most mos
quitoes will lay eggs and breed. Get rid of or treat standing
water with larvicides (Mosquito Dunks or Mosquito Torpedoes)
available at home improvement stores. Dump out containers
such as recycling bins, empty flowerpots, and other contain
ers that may collect water. Change water in birdbaths or
small wading pools at least once a week. Remember, even a
small amount of water can provide a place for mosquitoes to

Musselwhite, Public Works
director for the City. They
spray a different section
every night with no set
schedule.
He says they spray
according to the wind and
rain. They also put larve
cide pellets where mosqui
toes breed, which ensures
they never leave the breed
ing ground.
Musselwhite recommend
ed people keep their yards
clean and dump any stand
ing water. He also recom
mended going to Wal-Mart
and personally buying mos
quito and bug spray.
He said the city knows
where problems have been
previously and those areas

“Spraying is not the whole
answer,” meaning citizens
need to do their part. (Note:

you can take.)
Centerville is sprayed
every two weeks. It only
takes one day to spray the
entire city, says Patrick
Eidson, Centerville City
Administrator. “If a com
plaint is received, we will
go spray that particular
area.”
Spraying begins in late
April or early May and con
tinues throughout the sum

temperature.
Perry also sprays over the
summer “until it gets cool,”
said Diane Abney of the
City of Perry.
