Protect Yourself from West Nile Virus
Mosquitoes carrying the West Nile Virus have been found in Weld County and traps are finding historically high numbers of Culex mosquitoes. The City has begun spraying events and is strongly encouraging residents to practice the “4 Ds”:

• Use Deet or an alternative repellent;
• Dress in long sleeves and pants;
• Avoid outdoor activities between dusk until dawn; and
• Drain standing water in your yard (i.e. birdbaths, outdoor planter, tires stored outside, etc.)
