West Nile Virus: There is an elevated risk
of the West Nile virus. Dead crows in Dearborn were
found
to have died from the virus last year, other communities are now spraying for
mosquitos,
and the risk is expected to be greater this year.
Thursday Evenings: APM will spray on Thursday from now through
the Fall between 6:00 p.m. and
11:30 p.m. If there are high winds
or rain, spraying will be rescheduled on Friday.
As always, when they spray, it is best if you:
Open your Gates
Keep your Pets
Indoors
Turn your
Outside Lights ON
Close your
Windows
Spray Used:
Advanced Pest Management uses
EPA regisered, Synthetic Permethrin, Bio-Mist
3+15 and Anvil 2+2 ULV that biodegrade within 24 hours.
The active ingredients also
used on sweet corn to fight worms, and on kittens to rid
fleas, per Entomology
professors from Purdue University, MSU, etc.

Virus
May Finish Its Trek Across The U.S.
There’s
no good way to predict, as the deadly viruses from a family that’s
notoriously fickle. But during last year’s record-setting epidemic
— more than 4,000 people became ill and 274 died — only a
handful of states escaped human illness. Even some of those harbored
infected mosquitoes and birds.
And
no, the harsh winter in much of the country probably won’t lead to
a reprieve. Many mosquitoes can survive the cold by hiding out in
places such as sewers, ready to start spreading infection once
it’s warm enough to re-emerge.
Another
myth: that if crows aren’t dying in your neighborhood, West Nile
probably hasn’t spread there yet. Dead birds of any species are
suspicious. But of more common concern are birds West Nile doesn’t
easily kill, like common house sparrows. They harbor far more of the
virus in their blood than crows do; yet few die — offering a
highly infectious feeding trough for mosquitoes that bite them and
then bite us.
The
CDC is analyzing some dismal data showing that’s a hard job.
During the height of last summer’s epidemic, less than half of
people surveyed took any precaution to avoid mosquito bites — and
only about a third used repellent.

W. Nile deaths bring state toll to 36
October 23, 2002
The
state Department of Community Health said Tuesday that Michigan’s
death toll from West Nile virus has risen to 36.
The
virus has killed two Oakland County men, ages 74 and 85, and an
84-year-old Macomb
County woman since the state’s last report on Friday, Department
of Community Health spokeswoman Geralyn Lasher said.
Eight
more people also were sickened by the virus, bringing Michigan’s
total of probable and confirmed cases to 463.
Genesee
County reported its first case of the virus in the past week, Lasher
said. Oakland County has had the most reported cases so far, with
153. Wayne County followed closely with 151.
Most
people bitten by an infected mosquito never get sick, and most of
the rest see only flu-like symptoms. A small percentage of people
contract the deadly symptoms of encephalitis, which enlarges the
brain, and meningitis, which enlarges the spinal cord and brain
linings. By the Associated
