Here's the latest update on West Nile Virus activity from the Canyon County Mosquito Abatement District: The District just completed over 1200 acres in aerial larvicide operations. On Wednesday, July 19 over 600 acres of the Boise River from Kingsbury Rd. to the Middleton Rd. Bridge was treated with the bacterial mosquito larvae control agent Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti). On Friday, July 21 another 600+ acres was treated along the south shore of Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge-Lake Lowell from the Lower Embankment Dam to the N.Y. Canal inflow. Earlier this week, a surveillance trap located at Wilson Ponds tested positive West Nile virus, follow up trapping after several ULV "fogging" around the Wilson Ponds area (Locust and S. Powerline) and additional larvicide treatments in drains, the Wilson Ponds and wetlands area has revealed no mosquito activity. It is important to remember that we are in the midst of the West Nile Virus season for the next several weeks.
