POLICE ALERT!
Door-to-Door Solicitors
There have been reports in the areas surrounding the Village of persons using the guise of door-to-door peddlers to "case" and check out homes to rob. They are peddling services such as gutter cleaning, tree trimming, roof replacement, etc.
The Village of Marlborough requires every door-to-door solicitor to have a permit and photo ID.
Please check for these required documents if you answer your door to a peddler. If you find a peddler without these documents, contact the police dispatcher at 314.889.2341, or if you feel threatened at all, call 911.
West Nile Virus and Moquitoes!
Mosquitoes in St. Louis and Jefferson counties have tested positive for West Nile virus. A bird with the virus has already been reported in St. Clair County. There have been no reported human cases of the illness this season in Missouri or Illinois.
The virus causes flu-like symptoms that are typically mild although severe cases can develop. Experts recommend avoiding the outdoors at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active, wearing insect repellent with DEET and removing all standing water from around the home.
