announced in July<\/a> that the virus was found in mosquito pools there, but no human cases were reported.<\/p>\nPeople are advised to take precautions to minimize their exposure to mosquitoes and their risk to the virus, the health department’s release said.<\/p>\n
People should use a repellent with DEET, permethrin, picaridin, IR3535 or oil of lemon eucalyptus that has been registered with the Environmental Protection Agency. Long sleeves and pants are recommended after dark.<\/p>\n
People should also drain standing water in yards or gardens, keep gutters clear of debris, and clean and stock garden ponds with mosquito-eating fish or mosquito dunks. Window and door screens should also be kept in good condition to keep mosquitoes out of homes, and weeds and tall grasses should be kept short, the release says.<\/p>\n
