More OC Neighborhoods To Get Pesticide Spray After Spike In Virus-Infected Mosquitoes
The latest spraying schedule comes after 18 more mosquitoes tested positive for West Nile Virus across Orange County.
Due to an uptick in mosquitoes infected with viruses such as West Nile, Orange County crews will again be out in force spraying pesticides in Santa Ana and Buena Park neighborhoods beginning Saturday.
The O.C. Mosquito and Vector Control District reported Friday that the latest spraying schedule comes after 18 more mosquitoes tested positive for West Nile Virus in Anaheim, Buena Park, Fullerton and Stanton, bringing the total number of mosquitoes who tested positive for West Nile so far this year to 118. West Nile is primarily transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito in the Culex genus.
