Good Afternoon Clintonville Area Commissioners,

 

Recently our vector control program identified a Clintonville mosquito pool that tested positive for West Nile Virus.  Mosquito traps have been set throughout Clintonville and mosquitoes carrying disease were found in the area.  Due to the trap results, our program will be treating in Clintonville on Friday, July 25^th between 4:00am – 6:20am, weather permitting.  At this moment, all requests to opt out of mosquito spraying will be honored that have already been filed. 

 

To see the boundaries of the treatment, please visit our online map at: https://www.columbus.gov/Services/Public-Health/Find-Health-Care-Resources/Pests/Mosquito-Control-and-Prevention 

 

While the recent presence of a positive mosquito pool is unfortunate, it can serve as an opportunity for us to continue protecting ourselves from mosquito bites and to eliminate stagnant water from properties, including places such as gutters and bird baths.  Please find more information about mosquito bite prevention on our website located athttps://www.columbus.gov/Services/Public-Health/Find-Health-Care-Resources/Pests/Mosquito-Control-and-Prevention 

 

Please let me know if you need anything additional.

 

Best,

 

Melissa
