DEMING – In this month’s city bill, city officials included a letter in both English and Spanish reminding locals about the potential increase in mosquito population.
With the increase of rain recently, the city reminder said that there are several health risks such as transmission of disease including West Nile Virus.
City officials said that again this year, as in past Deming has contracted a professional entomologist to implement comprehensive mosquito management programs.
The programs will be designed not only to control and reduce the mosquito population within the city but also to decrease the incidences of mosquito-born diseases.
Mosquitos breed in standing water, making any undrained water source a potential mosquito nursery.
The public is reminded to drain standing water from flowerpots, buckets, birdbaths, and other containers in yards.
To help avoid mosquitos, avoid being outdoors during dawn and dusk. These are the times when mosquitos are most active.
Dress by wearing long sleeves and pants when outside.
Use an effective insect repellent.
Ensure doors and window screens are in good working condition.
City officials said controlling mosquito population requires a concerted effort from everyone.
