ORANGE COUNTY (KABC) — Southern California is still a couple months away from mosquito season, but this season could potentially be one of the worst because of all the rain to start the year.
However, the Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District is being proactive.
Heather Hyland, director of communications for OC Vector, said spots that didn’t have standing water before may have some now.
“There’s areas due to the rain that are filling up that are producing more egg laying sites for mosquitos per usual,” Hyland said.
She said they’re seeing more mosquitoes in traps laid out to monitor their population.
