MVCAC Member Highlights Mosquito Control on Fox40 for World Mosquito Day

In recognition of World Mosquito Day on August 20, MVCAC member Luz Robles with Sacramento-Yolo MVCD appeared on Studio 40 on Fox40 to discuss the vital role mosquito control plays in protecting public health.

During the segment, Luz addressed the global impact of mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit, current conditions in California—including increasing West Nile virus activity—and the importance of simple precautions to prevent mosquito bites.

The interview provided a valuable opportunity to highlight the ongoing work of mosquito and vector control districts and to remind viewers of practical steps they can take to protect themselves and their families.
