Current:West Nile virus has been detected this year in the San Gabriel Valley. Read our latest press release below for details. Take a few minutes to walk around your property and dump out any accumulated rainwater from buckets, barrels, old tires, etc. The work you do now will break the mosquito life cycle and protect you and your family from West Nile virus! Contact the District to report 'green' inoperable swimming pools or non-functional ponds & fountains. These can breed thousands of mosquitoes each week. WNV is primarily transmitted bird to bird by mosquitoes. Many species of birds can get WNV and in some, it is nearly always fatal. The presence of dead birds in the neighborhood is often the first indication of WNV activity. Help us monitor and control WNV - Report ALL DEAD BIRDS to www.westnile.ca.gov or (877) 968-2473. Not all birds can be collected and tested. These reports help us direct our control efforts and keep you safe. Watch these videos:
