Based on testing mosquitoes from traps, there is confirmation of mosquitoes or birds carrying West Nile virus in San Gabriel Valley. The threat may already be lurking in your own backyard. Learn how to protect yourself and your family.

Aedes (pronounced "aid-dees") mosquitoes are aggressive black-and-white insects that thrive in our cities. They have been called "ankle biters" due to their behavior of biting people near the feet. These are not your common Southern house mosquitoes, which are light brown in color.

Did you know mosquitoes lay their eggs in containers that have stagnant water? Once laid, mosquitoes can grow from eggs to flying adults in about 7 days!
