We are setting 4 modified CDC traps in areas around Placer County. This project will run through the summer to better understand the species composition of this vector in Placer County and allow mosquito control agencies to be better prepared if Oropouche is introduced. (3/3).

Did you know? Reseach has shown that mosquitos are attracted to carbon dioxide, body odor, and heat! . Even though these things are usually unpreventable, you can use an EPA-registered repellent along with protective clothing to help keep you safe from mosquitos!
