west nile virus

With the Columbia River in view, our local health officials are raising the alarm about West Nile Virus. It's time to take those mosquito precautions seriously.

Cover up. Wear long pants long sleeve shirt, and a hat when in areas with mosquitos.

The Benton County Mosquito District will continue to try to control the mosquito population while they're in the larvae stages of development.

Most people infected with WNV don't feel sick at all.
