The Woodlands Township Environmental Services Department reminds residents to take precautions to protect themselves and their loved ones from mosquito borne disease.

Following recent heavy rains, mosquito abatement is just as important now as ever before, especially with outdoor Halloween activities coming up this weekend.

Reports have indicated that mosquitoes are still reporting positive for West Nile Virus. Residents are reminded to drain standing water, wear insect repellent and avoid outdoor activities at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.

Visit the Township’s Mosquito Abatement webpage for great resources and plenty of tips on how you can fight the bite!

To report mosquito issues, please contact The Woodlands Township Environmental Services Department at 281-210-3800.
