West Nile Virus Positive Mosquito Sample Found in Burbank
West Nile Virus Positive Mosquito Sample Found in Burbank
The Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District (GLACVCD) has confirmed a positive West Nile Virus (WNV) mosquito sample in Burbank.
What does that mean? It simply means that mosquitoes carrying the virus have been identified in the area, and it's a good reminder to take simple steps that help reduce mosquito bites and keep our neighborhoods safe:
- Eliminate standing water around your home.
- Maintain pools, spas, and ponds.
- Change water in pet dishes and birdbaths weekly.
- Use insect repellent when outdoors.
- Report neglected swimming pools to GLACVCD.
