Protect Yourself from Mosquito Bites This Summer
As California hosts FIFA World Cup events and observes National Mosquito Control Awareness Week (June 21–27), residents and visitors are encouraged to take simple steps to prevent mosquito bites and reduce mosquito breeding.
Help protect your community by dumping standing water around your home, using EPA-registered mosquito repellent, and reporting mosquito problems to your local mosquito and vector control district.
