Prepare for mosquitos

Posted 1 year ago

Mon, Apr 9th, '12 - 8:05 am

It’s just about time to be concerned about mosquitos.

The Prince Edward Hastings Health Unit wants the public to be aware that some mosquitos cause a disease known as West Nile Virus.

People should wear long sleeves and pants , or else use good insect repellent when outside.

It’s also important that water not be left standing around in low spots, or flower pots, because that’s where mosquitos breed.

For more information on West Nile Virus, go to the Prince Edward Hastings Health Unit’s website.
