FREMONT- Three Rivers Health Department contacted The Fremont Golf Club to let them know that West Nile Mosquitos were trapped on the Golf Course.
Members or visitors to the golf course can reduce their risk by:
- Using a repellant that contains DEET. The CDC has also approved picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus. The CDC generally recommends that when using sunscreen and repellant, sunscreen should be applied first. Products that combine sunscreen and repellant are not recommended.
- Wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants, shoes, and socks.
- Taking extra precautions when going outdoors at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
- Removing standing water where mosquitoes breed.
Free mosquito wipes are available to residents of Dodge, Washington, and Saunders County. Mosquito wipes can be picked up at Three Rivers Public Health Department located at 2400 N. Lincoln Ave, Fremont, NE 68025. Mosquito wipes have also been distributed to various community locations throughout the Three Rivers jurisdiction.
