So far this season 5 gravid mosquito traps were set in Pequea Township.  One of those traps has now tested positive for West Nile Virus. Residents should protect themselves from mosquito bites by wearing long sleeves and pants when outside. Implementing some form of repellent is also necessary. Additionally, residents and homeowners should be vigilant of standing water, including containers such as buckets. Make sure to clear clogged gutters and eliminate all stagnant sources of water.
