Invasive tropical mosquitoes have
been found in the City of Los Alamitos. Late last week, the Orange County
Vector Control District received two separate service requests,
approximately 1.5 miles apart. A thorough investigation was conducted and
the presence of Asian Tiger Mosquito (Aedes albopictus) was confirmed in
both locations. The Vector Control District has deployed personnel to the
City of Los Alamitos to conduct neighborhood inspections of properties for
mosquito breeding and standing water in the surrounding area. We are also
informing nearby residents about the discovery of this invasive species and to
report additional sighting and mosquito bites.
