Stewart Mesa, September 10, 2009

Due to the presence of West Nile Virus-infected mosquitoes in the target area, fogging was scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 8, along Stewart Mesa Road south of Wood Court, but was postponed due to wind.  Fogging is now scheduled in this area for Thursday, Sept. 10, between 7 and 8:30 p.m., conditions permitting.

Remember to take precautions - close doors and windows during the fogging operations and for an hour or two afterward.  Wash any vegetables/toys/pet dishes before using.  Keep using mosquito repellent and avoid going out at dawn and dusk.  Wear protective clothing if you must go out.  Culex mosquitoes, some of which may carry the WNV virus, are often most active late at night (10 pm - midnight).   Keep them out of your house with good screens, or use mosquito netting around your sleeping area.
