We reported last week that mosquitoes tested positive for West Nile Virus in the Tri-Cities but a new report claims that even more mosquitoes are testing positive for the virus.

According to the Benton Mosquito Control, more mosquitoes are testing positive for the virus.

The Benton Mosquito Control is recommending that insect repellent be applied if you are outside for a long period of time.

A good resource to follow is the Benton Mosquito Control Twitter page so you might want to bookmark it for future reference.
