BELL COUNTY, Texas (KXXV) — West Nile Virus activity has been confirmed in Bell County, the Harker Heights Fire Department said on social media on Thursday.
When there is West Nile Virus activity in your area, remember the four D's:
- Dusk to Dawn: Stay indoors when mosquitoes are most active
- Drain: Empty standing water around your home
- Dress: Wear long sleeves and pants when you're outside
- Deet: Use repellent with DEET or other EPA-approved ingredients
The Bell County Public Health District recommends a fifth "D" - "Dunk." BCPHD says to use mosquito dunks in bodies of water that cannot be drained.
