Cholla Area Neighborhood group is alerting groups in our surrounding area that we've been contacted by officials that mosquitoes in the vicinity of 33rd Ave and Mescal have tested positive for West Nile virus. There are products you can purchase at Lowe's or Home Depot or other home improvement stores to spray in your yards. There are also various products you can purchase at retail discount stores to put on your person. We urge everyone to follow the county recommendations of removing standing water in their yards and keeping their pools, bird fountains, spas, etc, CLEAN. For further information how to protect yourself and your loved ones, please refer to the county website at www.maricopa.gov.
