MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Shelby County Health Department is stepping up its fight against mosquitoes and the West Nile virus with Collierville being ground zero.
A mosquito in Collierville's 38017 zip code tested positive for West Nile. So, SCHD is spraying affected neighborhoods this week. The schedule for the rest of the week is:
- Wednesday, July 7, 2021 - 38017, 38028, 38139
- Thursday, July 8, 2021 - 38028, 38125, 38138, 38139
The best way to protect yourself and your neighbors is to remove any standing water around your home. That will keep the mosquitoes from breeding.
