The first reported mosquito-related death in Contra Costa County, as well as reports of West Nile in L.A. County, are a reminder to protect your home from mosquitos.
The first mosquito-related death in the Bay Area and the detection of mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus in Southern California underscore the risk Californians face as they spend more time outdoors this summer. But experts say there are simple preventative steps people can take to reduce the chances of being bitten and infected by the virus.
However, mosquito control is a shared responsibility and residents need to do their part by eliminating potential breeding sites around their homes. Start by identifying items on your property that can hold standing water, which when left untouched for at least seven days is a magnet for mosquitoes. Typical sites include birdbaths, old tires, clogged gutters, portable basketball hoops, uncovered outdoor grills, potted plants with saucers and flower vases.
