Aggressive Mosquito Spotted in Vacaville | Sacramento News
Description
A new, daytime-biting mosquito species known for carrying yellow fever has been spotted in Vacaville — the same bug seen in Dixon last year. This invasive Aedes aegypti, with its dark body and white leg stripes, prefers standing water and bites indoors, making it a serious health threat. Health officials are urging residents to eliminate water sources like old tires and clogged gutters. The Solano County Mosquito Abatement District is ramping up surveillance and control efforts to keep the public safe.
