Southwestern Public Health recently found a West Nile positive mosquito in Tillsonburg.
TILLSONBURG - Southwestern Public Health has another confirmed case of West Nile.
The latest positive test comes from a trap in Tillsonburg, which caught a mosquito carrying the virus.
Public health recommends removing standing water around your property to reduce mosquito breeding environments. Additional ways to protect yourself and your family include:
- Use DEET-based repellents to prevent mosquito bites and following directions for use, especially around children
- Wear light coloured clothing with long sleeves, pants, and socks in areas where mosquitoes are present, especially at dusk and dawn when they are most active
- Repair holes in screens, windows, and doors
- Empty standing water regularly around your property, such as from pool covers, toys, flowerpots, garbage cans, and any other outdoor object that can collect water
- Change water in bird baths every other day
- Keep pool pumps circulating
- Install screens to cover the opening of rain barrels
