You Can Prevent West Nile Virus

Around the home, eliminate mosquito breeding grounds from your property by removing standing water in containers, such as flower pots, fountains and pet dishes. You can also do your part by dumping or draining water in neglected swimming pools, ponds, rain barrels, discarded tires, buckets or anything capable of holding water for more than a few days.
