Four Florida counties have reported West Nile virus activity this calendar year. Four others have reported Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis activity. Although no human cases have surfaced yet, it is a good idea to remember the principles of mosquito avoidance and management, especially around homes.
Recommendations from Federal and state agencies are available on the UF/IFAS Pest Alert site under Arbrovirus Summaries - Repellents, Traps, etc.
