York County Mosquito Update for July 25-Aug 7, 2026

Compared to this time last year we are seeing relatively lower mosquito numbers in our traps, but we are also still finding West Nile positive mosquitoes within some of these traps. If you are ever curious as to whether or not a trap within your township/borough has had West Nile positive mosquitoes this year, please refer to the map located within the bi-weekly report. We are continuing to monitor all of our sites with the townships and boroughs to limit the spreading of mosquito-borne diseases.

· Stay indoors during peak mosquito hours
o Dusk to Dawn (Keep in mind that it is getting darker later)
· Wear long sleeves, pants, and closed-toed shoes if possible
o Exposed skin may be at risk for biting mosquitoes
· Wear bug repellent
o Specifically bug repellent containing at least 30% DEET or another EPA approved active ingredient
· Remove all the standing water from your property
o Birdbaths, wheelbarrows, buckets, tires, unused flower pots and children’s toys can hold water and breed mosquitoes.

Thank you and have a good weekend.

Temporary No Parking

🚧 Temporary No Parking Notice – Borough-Wide 🚧

As we continue street sweeping and begin the installation of Hometown Hero banners in honor of Memorial Day, temporary No Parking signs will be posted throughout the Borough over the next two weeks or more.

Please be aware:

When a sign is posted indicating “No Parking” with a specified time frame, that restriction is enforceable during those hours.
This is consistent with permanent No Parking signage used nationwide. For example, if a sign states No Parking from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., vehicles may not be parked during that time period—even if a specific date is not listed.

🚗 Failure to move your vehicle may result in a ticket and/or towing. This is not what we want to do, it is what we have to do, to accomplish what needs to be done when people fail to follow the posted notices.

We appreciate your cooperation as we work to keep our streets clean and honor our community’s heroes. Please check posted signs carefully and plan accordingly.

Thank you for your understanding and support!
