West Nile Virus Detected in Grafton Mosquitoes; Officials Urge Precautions

Several cities and towns have recently reported positive tests of West Nile Virus in mosquito samples including in Grafton. Health officials are reminding you to use mosquito repellents with an EPA-registered active ingredient and try to avoid being outdoors in the peak mosquito times at dusk and dawn. Mass DPH says they will continue enhanced surveillance of the bugs. The Central Mass Mosquito Control Project has been doing some extra evening spraying this week in Grafton.
