Placer County health officials recently confirmed the first West Nile virus–related death of the season — a heartbreaking reminder of how important mosquito prevention truly is. While most mosquito bites are harmless, some can carry serious health risks, especially for older adults and those with compromised immune systems.
At Pest Pros Pest Solutions, our mission goes beyond pest control — we’re here to protect Northern California families, homes, and communities. This recent news reinforces why proactive mosquito prevention matters more than ever.
What’s Happening in Placer County
According to county reports, there have been five confirmed human cases of West Nile virus in Placer County so far this season. Mosquito and bird samples across the region are also testing positive, showing that the virus is still active in local mosquito populations.
Statewide, 54 human cases and 5 deaths have been reported this year — proof that mosquito activity is more than just a summertime nuisance.
What You Can Do to Stay Safe
As fall temperatures fluctuate, mosquito activity often lingers longer than most expect. Here are three key ways to reduce your risk and keep your home protected:
1. Dump & Drain
Mosquitoes only need a small amount of standing water to breed.
Empty buckets, flowerpot saucers, and kiddie pools regularly
Keep gutters clear of debris
Maintain swimming pools and birdbaths
Refresh pet water bowls daily
If you notice neglected water features or unmaintained pools in your neighborhood, contact your local mosquito and vector control district.
2. Defend Yourself
Use EPA-approved repellents with DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus
Wear long sleeves and pants at dawn and dusk — peak mosquito hours
Make sure window and door screens are intact and sealed properly
3. Step Up with the Pros
