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.
• Report dead birds to the California Department of Public Health online at https://westnile.ca.gov or call 1-877-WNV-BIRD
