Helicopters will be active today and tomorrow as we attempt to reduce mosquito larvae. This dip from Dakota County on Friday is an example of what we're facing (all of those little specks are mosquito larvae). Full list of cities with planned treatments: mmcd.org/helicopter-act…

Mosquitoes collected in Anoka and Carver Counties have tested positive for West Nile virus. These are the first positive samples of the year for each of these counties. Residents should wear bug spray and eliminate any standing water.
