West Nile Virus Found in Dayton Mosquitoes | Dayton News

West Nile virus has been detected in mosquitoes in Dayton and Harrison Township — prompting immediate aerial spraying starting as early as today, September 16th, around dusk. Targeted areas include Buckey, Brown, and Eastview streets in Dayton, plus Lynn and Elsmere avenues in Harrison Township. The EPA-approved spray, Anvil 2+2 ULV, is safe for pets and people, dissipates within minutes, and won’t stain surfaces. While no human cases have been reported this year in Montgomery County, four were confirmed in 2025. Residents can stay outside during spraying — signs will be posted and a hotline (937-225-4362) is available for updates. Public Health urges everyone to use EPA-approved repellents and wear protective clothing during dawn and dusk. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
