| Mosquito Activity (Scale from 0 to 5) |
- We received an average of .45 inches of rain last week.
- Mosquito activity is a 2 for the entire city. There has been no
Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) or West Nile Virus (WNV) detected
in the area this year.

| Surveillance |
- Ten CDC style traps were set this week and a total of 1,025
mosquitoes were caught, with an average of 103 mosquitoes per trap
night. This is up slightly from last week. Most roadside ditches
have dried up and are not producing mosquitoes, catch basins and
containers are the major mosquito breeders at this time.
- Part of the increase in mosquitoes this week was in the Crystal
Lake and Mayflower Park areas of the city. Targeted adult spraying
operations in this area have been conducted. We will continue to
monitor and treat as needed.
