The return of pleasant weather could bring more than suntans as the deluge of storms has provided fertile ground for mosquitoes.
After a parade of storms battered the state, Californians are enjoying an extended stretch of sunshine and warmer temperatures.
“One of the big ones for us, in terms of mosquito production, are these unmaintained swimming pools,” said Steve Vetrone, director of scientific-technical services for the Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District. “So we rely on folks calling us that there’s a mosquito issue,” he said, “and then ... our technicians will go out and do a treatment if necessary.”, which is more likely to spread viruses Zika and dengue, and, which feeds on animals as well as humans, are “very much container breeders,” Vetrone said.
The basin’s underground storm drains, often stagnant, filled with debris and fed by irrigation, are “significant contributors” to the above-ground mosquito population, Vetrone said.It will not be long, however, until vector control workers in Southern California find out how bad this year’s mosquito season will be.
Northern California, specifically Placer County between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe, is a little behind the Los Angeles region in terms of its mosquito season, but Buettner is keeping his eye on the standing water in his region.
