PSA: If mosquitoes are eating you alive in Glendale, there's a free service that will come investigate
We've been getting absolutely destroyed by mosquitoes lately, so upon a recommendation from a friend, I contacted the LA County Vector Control District.
They came to our house, inspected the property, found one small source of standing water, and talked us through what they're seeing more broadly in the area. But they told us the biggest problem is simply that people don't know this (free) service exists.
If enough people report mosquito problems, it gives them a much better picture of where breeding is happening and allows them to address the problem at a neighborhood level rather than one yard at a time.
So if you're getting eaten alive by mosquitoes in your yard, please report it rather than suffering through it! It's a public service, so we might as well use it, and the more of us who do, the more useful it becomes.
You can submit a service request here. Would love for Glendale to achieve critical mass so we can eradicate them once and for all!
