West Nile Alert Amid Low Mosquito Numbers | Fargo News

West Nile virus detected in a third mosquito sample this summer—awaiting state lab confirmation—but don’t panic: mosquito numbers are at historic lows due to extreme heat and drought, meaning no spraying this year. Mosquitoes are now hiding in shade and biting only at dawn and dusk. Rain recently in areas outside the metro could spike activity there. Still, stay vigilant: avoid peak biting times, wear protective gear, use repellent, and eliminate standing water around your home.
