WNV Backyard Prevention Video: This video demonstrates various backyard items that can act as breeding areas for the virus and subsequently need to be periodically dumped or emptied.  These items include childrens toys and buckets, tires, recycleables & trash containers, gutters, and pools.  Additionally, holes can be drilled in the bottom of trash cans and recycle containers to prevent water build-up.
