Preventing West Nile Virus
The only treatment available for WNV is
prevention.
Prevention includes the use of insect repellent,
taking steps to reduce standing water from personal property,
treating water on public and open-space land, as well as
education about the risks associated with the virus.
In addition to other mosquito control efforts
it is important that the 97% of Boulder County residents who are
at risk for contracting West Nile Virus take action to prevent
falling ill from the virus.
