Check rain gutters and lawn drains for water and debris. Mosquito-borne viruses, such as West Nile and St. Louis encephalitis, are transmitted to people by the bite of an infected mosquito. Anyone who feels unwell the days and weeks after being bit by a mosquito should contact their health care provider. Preventing mosquito breeding and mosquito bites is the best defense against mosquito threats.
