West Nile Virus Found in New York

The Oswego County (NY) Health Department has confirmed the diagnosis of two more cases of West Nile Virus. The dangerous virus, which is transmitted by mosquitoes, can be mistaken for the flu. Symptoms include fever, headaches, rashes, and body aches.

Pest control professionals urge the use of repellents containing DEET, and to also limit your outdoor activity between dusk and dawn. Make sure to eliminate any stagnant water around your property because that’s where mosquitoes will often lay their eggs.

  1. I am pregnant and paranoid about the zika or the west nile virus affecting the baby. I like how you mentioned that pest control companies can help keep mosquitoes off my property. I will definitely contact a local exterminator to come and do that. Thanks for the information!
