West Nile virus is spiking in Franklin County, leading to increased mosquito spraying in neighborhoods like Grove City. Health officials report seven cases already, far exceeding the usual two or three annually. Residents are urged to avoid approaching spray trucks for safety and efficiency. The active ingredient, permethrin, is considered safe for mammals and breaks down quickly. The focus remains on community-wide prevention, requiring cooperation to allow spraying crews to operate safely during this record mosquito season.
