his is Mosquito Awareness Week and Ventura County Environmental Health officials are reminding us to take actions aimed at protecting ourselves and others from being bitten by mosquitos and also eliminating conditions that allow them to breed.
They say make sure there is nothing in your yard that could collect even small amounts of water that can be used by mosquitos to breed.
As far as avoiding being bitten, make sure you make it hard to allow mosquitos to enter your residence and wear protective clothing like long sleeve shirts and long pants.
Also use EPA approved insect repellant.
Mosquitos can transmit several diseases including West Nile Virus.
Below is the news release from Ventura County Environmental Health with more details…
