A number of mosquitoes have tested positive for West Nile virus in portions of Sunnyvale and Santa Clara, prompting officials to announce the areas will be treated with insecticide later this week.
Santa Clara County Vector Control District said Tuesday the mosquitoes with the virus were found in the 94085, 94086, 94087 and 95051 area codes.
People who live in the zip codes in question were being notified through county alert texts, on the Nextdoor neighborhood app and on other social media platforms. The district said the mosquito treatments pose minimal risk to people, pets, animals and the environment, and those who would like to take extra precautions can keep family members and pets inside during the approximately four-hour treatment, with windows and doors shut.
