Placer Countya s public health officer, Dr. Rob Oldham along with the Placer Mosquito and Vector Control District, are reminding residents to continue to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites, after several human cases of West Nile virus and one death linked to the disease. While West Nile activity typically begins in early summer, it can continue to peak into the fall. Placer Mosquito and Vector Control District has expanded aerial mosquito treatment in Roseville, Lincoln and western Placer agricultural areas. A Officials say mosquitoes bite in the early morning and night so it is important to wear proper clothing and repellent if outside during these times. Make sure that your doors and windows have tight-fitting screens to keep mosquitoes out. Repair or replace screens with tears or holes.
