Three Mosquito Traps Test Positive for West Nile Virus weeks of July 20 and 27The City of Naperville’s routine mosquito monitoring and testing program has identified West Nile Virus in three of its 10 mosquito traps during recent weekly testing.
To help control the mosquito population in Naperville, City crews inspect for and remove standing water where possible and treat ponds, marsh areas, and catch basins throughout the City to target the mosquitoes in the larval stage.
West Nile Virus is a mosquito-borne virus that is transmitted through the bite of a mosquito that has picked up the virus by feeding on an infected bird.
Less than 1% of people infected with West Nile Virus develop severe illness.
The best way to prevent West Nile disease or any other mosquito-borne illness is to reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home and to take personal precautions to avoid mosquito bites.
