Small ponds causing big concerns in the Wyoming Valley tonight.
Mosquitoes carrying the West Nile Virus were found in this small creek near Empire Street in Wilkes-Barre.
The virus also turned up in three other test pools in Edwardsville and Kingston.
Luzerne County`s West Nile Prevention Coordinator says this discovery is in sharp contrast to 2004.
County crews will begin spraying in Wilkes-Barre as well as Kingston and Edwardsville next Wednesday evening.
