VECTOR CONTROL UPDATE: West Nile Virus activity has been confirmed in Hendricks County. We would like to encourage Hendricks County residents to take steps to protect themselves from West Nile Virus and other mosquito-borne diseases. For more information on mosquito control, known mosquito breeding grounds, signs and symptoms of West Nile Virus, visit https://www.cdc.gov/mosquitoes/mosquito-control/index.html.

Controlling mosquitoes outside of your home, its important to remove standing water where mosquitoes lay eggs. Items such as buckets, planters, toys, pools, birdbaths, flowerpot saucers, trash containers, and tires are items to keep in mind to clean once a week. For more information, visit our West Nile Press Release on the Vector Control page of our Hendricks County Health Department website https://hendrickscty-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/ltomaw_co_hendricks_in_us/IQB-RcgS5t5YS7MuaINjz7i5Ad_JnK89f7W0uoHcCUX1t2k?e=0Qzgsp
