2008 Boulder Country Trap Location |
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 as an indicator of risk
for human exposure to West Nile virus within Boulder County.
More on Culex Disclaimer:
These maps do not indicate areas free of risk for West Nile virus.
Human cases have been reported in Colorado in 2004. Regardless of
where you live, we recommend you take precautions to reduce risk
of exposure, including the 4
D's.
