Mosquito Spraying Intensifies in Northeast Fort Collins and Longmont to Combat West Nile Virus

The city of Fort Collins in Colorado is planning a second round of spraying to combat West Nile virus-infected mosquitoes. The decision comes after high numbers of infected mosquitoes were found in the northeast section of the city. The spraying will take place on Sunday, July 30, weather permitting. Residents are advised to stay indoors and keep doors and windows closed for 30 to 60 minutes after spraying to minimize pesticide exposure. Larimer County has reported the most cases of West Nile virus in humans in Colorado, with 1,012 cases since 2003.
