Can your smartphone help scientists better understand #mosquito bites? University of Florida researchers developed a "Bite Diary" app to track mosquito bites and compare reports with mosquito populations in nearby yards.

Scary but true, mosquitoes are still around the Bay Area this time of year. When you're out and about, make sure to wear long sleeves, pants and carry insect repellent with you in case the little bloodsuckers try to find you.

Throughout CA mosquito and vector control agencies have found over 734 birds that have died from West Nile virus. If you find a dead bird, especially a crow, raven, scrub jay or owl, please contact the West Nile hotline so it can be tested: westnile.ca.gov/

Fix drainage while there's nothing draining. El Niño is strengthening, which raises the odds of a wetter winter. Not a storm warning. Just a reason to do it now rather than later. Gutters. Sagging tarps. Low spots. The side yard. Pick one this week. #Compton #ElNino

Clocks go back Sunday, Nov. 1. Dusk arrives an hour earlier—and that’s when West Nile mosquitoes feed. Protect yourself during your commute, at the bus stop, or after practice. #Compton #WestNileVirus #MosquitoPrevention

Three things. Every week. Yes, again. The saucer under the potted plant. The low spot in the tarp. The bucket behind the garage. Egg to adult takes about 5 to 7 days in warm weather. Tip it out on sight. #Compton #MosquitoPrevention

You've probably walked past one. Traps go out across the district on a regular schedule. Collected, identified by species, tested for virus. That's where a local picture comes from: a trap, a lab, and a route somebody drives. #Compton #ComptonCreekMAD

If you are in a coastal area of Alameda County the next few days, wear long sleeves and long pants, and apply repellent. We will continue to work on preventing future fly offs of these aggressive mosquitoes. Learn more: mosquitoes.org

Unfortunately salt marsh mosquitoes known as Aedes dorsalis keep hatching open. Due to the higher and longer lasting tides we have had, along with hot weather and very little wind, these aggressive mosquitoes are finding human blood meals during the day. (1/2)

When you see a new West Nile case count, you're reading the recent past. Bite, then symptoms, then a doctor, then a test, then confirmation, then reporting. Each step adds days. Reported this week isn't caught this week. Don't wait for the number to move. #WestNileVirus #Compton

Rain fell around Compton this week. Now a Heat Advisory runs through Saturday, highs in the 90s. Warm standing water breeds mosquitoes fast. Take 10 minutes: tip and toss water in buckets, saucers and drains. Use EPA-registered repellent. comptoncreekmad.org/the-10-m…
