Our vector staff are preparing to set mosquito traps throughout the county to monitor mosquito activity and identify species that may pose a public health risk. If you see one of these traps in your community, please do not disturb it.
Mosquitoes are collected weekly from May–October for testing. If a trap tests positive or a human case of mosquito-borne illness is reported, licensed staff may spray within a one-mile radius, with public notice provided in advance.

Another wet spring has created ideal growing conditions for poison hemlock across Ohio, including Delaware County. 📸 The background photo was taken this weekend by a community clean-up crew along SR 315.
🚫 Poison hemlock is a highly toxic, invasive plant that poses serious risks to both people and animals. It is often identified by its tall growth, fern-like leaves, and smooth green stems with purple spotting.
⚠️ Do not touch, mow, or burn this plant. Skin contact can cause irritation, and inhaling smoke from burning it can be extremely dangerous.
🌱 It is commonly mistaken for wild carrot (Queen Anne’s lace), so careful identification is important before any removal. If found on your property, use caution and follow safe disposal practices or contact a trained professional.
