| If you think summertime is the prime season for mosquitoes...well, you are partially correct. While it's true that these pesky pests are more populous in the hotter months, they don't necessarily disappear when the weather cools. In late September, 2010, officials in Virginia Beach reported instances of the West Nile virus in area fowl. This has raised awareness of this disease, which is carried through mosquitoes and can be fatal if not treated, and encouraged owners of lake property to exercise caution. |
