San Diego County will begin its larvicide drop on up to 51 local waterways as part of a campaign to combat diseases spread by mosquitoes such as West Nile virus.
County officials say the larvicide does not hurt people or pets.
Locally, larvicide drops have been conducted since the early 2000s when West Nile virus was first detected in the United States. Though the disease mainly affects birds, county officials say mosquitoes can pass on the disease by feeding on infected birds, then biting people. According to the county, around three to four people have tested positive per year since 2017 and no virus detections have been seen in the county so far this year.
Residents were urged to report increased mosquito activity or mosquito breeding sources like unmaintained swimming pools and dead animals to the County Department of Environmental Health and Quality's Vector Control Program, which can be reached by calling 858-694-2888 or emailing [email protected].
