Taking precaution against mosquitoes: The village of Downers Grove is urging residents to take precaution against mosquitoes this summer. Recent rainy weather has created environmental conditions favorable for increased mosquito breeding on both public street areas and private property backyards.

Most mosquitoes bite at dusk or at night, but some kinds will bite during the day. Almost all mosquitoes will bite if you enter an area where they are resting.

Mosquitoes can transmit serious diseases to humans, such as the West Nile Virus. To date, the DuPage County Mosquito Trap Surveillance program has not found any mosquitoes with the West Nile Virus in the village. However, generally by the end of the summer, multiple locations throughout DuPage County will have mosquitoes with WNV.
