West Nile=Mosquito Spray

There were two separate positive mosquito pools for West Nile Virus collected from traps near Colerain Elementary School and also Webster Park. Both tests were confirmed last Monday, June 25th, by our staff. Due to these positive West Nile Virus mosquito pools, our Vector Control Program will be treating in Clintonville on Thursday, June 28th from 3:30 am-6:00 am.

The boundaries for the first treatment are as follows:

Croswell Road and Glenmount Ave. to the North

North Broadway to the South

Foster Street and Torrence Road to the East

SR 315 and the Olentangy River to the West

The boundaries for this second treatment are as follows:

Morse Rd. to the North

Cooke Road to the South

Indianola Ave. to the East

High Street to the West

A press release and spray map was issued Tuesday, June 26, 2018 it is attached here and the link to the on-line treatment map is attached to that. At this moment all requests to opt out of mosquito treatment will be honored that have already been filed.

The positive West Nile Virus pools do serve as a reminder for us to continue protecting ourselves from mosquito bites and to eliminate stagnant water from our properties including places such as gutters, rain barrels, and bird baths. One can also protect themselves from mosquito bites by using insect repellents and by minimizing their time spent outside during the late evening and early morning hours. Please let Ryan Younge, RS, the Vector Control Program Manager, know if you would like to discuss in further detail our mosquito reduction activities planned in Clintonville this week. His e-mail address is rtyounge@columbus.gov and his phone number is 614.645.6153.

What are the 4 Pillars & Why should we be Aware?

Since there are so many questions/discussions about” Blue Print Columbus” , “rain gardens”, free sump pumps, lateral linings, etc. We’re posting a link to the video series on ALL the “4 Pillars” of the Blue Print program. There are also downloadable FAQ brochures for each “pillar” of the program. This is a good resource for understanding the numerous projects underway that are tied to Blueprint Columbus!
