Regardless of mosquito activity at a trap location,
it remains important to remember the 4 D's throughout the summer:
- Use DEET or alternative.
- DRESS in long sleeves and pants.
- Avoid DUSK until DAWN.
- DRAIN standing water.
* Culex Present: Although 43 different species of mosquitoes can
carry the West Nile Virus, Culex species are the primary carriers of the
virus in Colorado. Because of this, Boulder County Public Health focuses
on these species for surveillance, control, and identification of
relative risk for contracting West Nile virus within Boulder County.
