Mosquito Activity and West Nile Virus Advisory

Sarah Brush

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health has reported positive mosquito samples for West Nile virus (WNV) in several communities, including neighboring Andover. There have been no reported human cases of WNV in Massachusetts this season to date.


While no positive mosquito samples have been reported in North Andover at this time, residents are encouraged to take simple precautions to reduce the risk of mosquito bites:

  • Use an insect repellent that contains an EPA registered active ingredient, such as DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, para menthane diol, or 2 undecanone. These ingredients are commonly found in mosquito repellents sold at stores.
  • Avoid outdoor activity when mosquitoes are most active, particularly around dusk and dawn.
  • Wear long sleeves and pants when spending time outdoors, when practical.
  • Remove or empty standing water around your property. Mosquitoes can breed in small amounts of water found in buckets, flowerpots, birdbaths, children's toys, clogged gutters, and other containers.

The North Andover Board of Health is working with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to monitor mosquito activity in the area. We will continue to share information with residents as new results become available. For questions or concerns, please contact the North Andover Board of Health at (978) 688-9540 or fdagle@northandoverma.gov.

A blurb from my research and portion to be published:
“Besides the Bronze Star for bravery, he received the Purple Heart for injuries in combat, and the Combat Infantryman’s Medal for his participation in ground combat.  When he returned home, he worked as a short order cook at Cedar Crest – the early morning shift. 'At 5am, he opened the restaurant and there would be people waiting for Phil Moore’s oatmeal,' said Frank Cain in an Eagle Tribune article. 'There was many a guy who came in and didn’t have a dime, but they had a meal because Phil Moore gave it to them.'”
