SPRAY NOTICE:
Weather permitting, Columbus Public Health will begin conducting summer mosquito control this week due to high mosquito counts and mosquitoes testing positive for West Nile virus. Check out planned fogging areas in our online Mosquito Fogging Map. Columbus Public Health determines fogging areas by reviewing mosquito trap results and field staff reports, including the number and types of mosquitoes trapped and the number of infected mosquitoes. Weekly fogging schedules are based on these factors, not on the number of complaints in any given area. The map will be updated weekly with new spray locations. The schedule is weather-dependent and subject to change. Visit our website at mosquito control to learn more.

Did you know June is Global Parenting Month?
Positive parenting is teaching your children and guiding them with empathy, encouragement and warmth. Discipline means to teach or guide; it does not mean to control or punish.
