The First West Nile Virus Death Was Just Confirmed in Our Sister State to the North

As we mentioned in a previous article, the threat of West Nile virus becomes greater during the months of August, September, and October. Nearly right on queue, the first death from West Nile virus was just confirmed not too far away in North Carolina. Protecting you and your family from coming into contact with mosquitoes should be of high priority.

Mosquito Squad of Columbia can take away your worries.
