Infected mosquitoes have been confirmed in ten cities, including Newport Beach and Santa Ana, though no human cases have been reported this year. Two types of mosquitoes are to blame: the southern house mosquito (active at dawn/dusk) and the “ankle biter” (daytime pests that breed in tiny water sources). For maximum protection, use 30% DEET spray against ankle biters and any repellent for southern house mosquitoes. Stay safe by using fans, checking screens, and dumping standing water weekly—no spraying yet, but watch this space.
