www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday May 12, 2007 - 7 Region's West Nile virus control program starts Monday With the weather getting warmer, Halton Region is kicking off its West Nile virus (WNv) control program for the season. The health department will start its dead bird surveillance Monday and is asking residents to help track the presence of WNv in Halton by reporting dead bird sightings. This can be done by calling the health department at 905-825-6000 or e-mailing wnv@halton.ca. When reporting a dead bird, it's important to provide as much of the following information as possible: · Type or description of the bird · Address or closest intersection to where the bird is located · The length of time the bird has been there. Dead crows and blue jays may be collected by staff and submitted for viral testing if suitable. If the bird isn't going to be picked up, staff will give instructions on how to dispose of it safely. The health department says while it's interested in sightings of all dead birds, it won't be collecting every one. "We encourage residents to do their part by reporting dead bird sightings and removing standing water from their properties," said Regional Chair Gary Carr. "By doing these things, Halton residents can and do make an impact in helping to safeguard the health of our community." Standing water that has been sitting for seven days or more can create an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes. It often collects in objects like birdbaths, old tires, toys, plant saucers or clogged eaves troughs. Residents are encouraged to ensure water doesn't accumulate in these types of objects or remove them when possible. The Region will begin its mosquito larviciding program when staff has identified mosquito larvae in catch basins or areas of standing water. Notices regarding the start of surface water larviciding will be placed in local newspapers before it begins. In addition, signs will be posted at the sites when larvicides are applied. The locations will be listed at www.halton.ca/wnv. "Bird and mosquito surveillance activities and larviciding are all parts of our comprehensive control program," said Halton Medical Officer of Health Dr. Bob Nosal. He noted that the health department has consistently found WNv activity in Halton's bird population since 2001 and the mosquito population since 2002. There was only one case of WNv diagnosed in a Halton resident last year.
