West Nile Virus has been found in South Lebanon Township. The West Nile Program is responding. Here are some things you can do to protect yourself and your family:

-Avoid being bitten by mosquitoes - wear longs sleeves and pants, apply an insect repellent such as DEET (follow label instructions).

-Remove sources of standing water from your property, such as discarded tires or buckets.

-Go indoors around dusk since that's when most mosquitoes are out.

Feel free to contact me with any and all questions and concerns at the office in Lancaster at 717-394-6851. For more information:  http://www.westnile.state.pa.us/
