With one bite, a female mosquito can transmit fatal diseases.

Examples of shady and dense yards that mosquitoes like:

May contain: garden, arbour, and outdoors

May contain: plant, hedge, fence, bush, and vegetation

california native plants reduce over-irrigation, stagnant water, and mosquitoes!

DEET

Mosquito control is a shared responsibility, and together we can make a bite-free SGV!
