Show Notes
Black flies, specifically Simulium vittatum, are swarming in the San Gabriel Valley foothills, causing bites around the eyes and neck. The local Mosquito and Vector Control District is treating river breeding spots and setting traps, but the treatments take time. Residents can help by turning off backyard water features for 24 hours weekly. To avoid bites, wear long sleeves, pants, DEET repellent, and face nets, especially at dawn and dusk. Report sightings to the district for monitoring.
