It's not the bite of a #mosquito that gets you sick, it's the viruses or parasites that are introduced during. Check out this @PBS Deep Look video that magnifies the process. Remember to always #FightTheBite with repellent and clothing! #WednesdayWellness youtu.be/rD8SmacBUcU

From time to time, you may see articles or posts about “natural” heartworm prevention vs. heartworm preventives prescribed by veterinarians. This American Heartworm Society fact sheet separates the facts from the fiction. bit.ly/2Ykirnm

If you are going to fill rain barrels this winter, make sure to place a cap over the top or a piece of window screen to keep mosquitoes out. Please do your part to help reduce mosquito numbers in your neighborhood this upcoming year. #mosquito #kernmosquito #Westnile #anklebiter

The weather outside is cool but don't ignore standing water. Dump out standing water sources around your home often and don't give mosquitoes the opportunity to bother you when the weather warms up. #mosquito #Westnile #anklebiter #PublicHealth

Help @CAPublicHealth track West Nile virus (WNV) in California by reporting dead birds. Tracking birds that die from WNV is one way CDPH monitors where WNV is active in California. Call or report a dead bird online today! westnile.ca.gov

Now that it is cooling off, you may not want to use your above ground pool any longer. Please drain your pool if you are done using it for the season. Neglected swimming pools can breed thousands of mosquitoes that are capable of transmitting West Nile virus. #mosquito #Westnile

Did you know mosquitoes only need one teaspoon of water to lay their eggs? Mosquitoes are great at finding standing water in your yard! Make sure to eliminate those hard to find puddles of water, aka cryptic sources, in your yard. #breedingsources #vectorcontrol #fyp

Helping the planet can start in your own yard. By simply having CA native plants you can help save water, increase biodiversity, attract wildlife, reduce pests like mosquitoes, and still have natural beautiful flowers. Protecting plants, protecting life. #PlanetHealthDay 🦟🌎
