Summary
Mosquitoes in Orange County are hitting crisis levels this year — dubbed a “fire-alarm year” with 718 positive West Nile virus traps vs. just 70 last year, and 18 human cases already reported. Officials are deploying heavy-duty tactics: targeted pesticide spraying (just two tablespoons per acre) in Anaheim, Costa Mesa, and Garden Grove, plus releasing mosquito fish to devour larvae in standing water. Residents are urged to eliminate stagnant water and wear protective gear during dawn and dusk. This is no joke — they’re pulling out all stops to stop the spread.
