Mosquitoes are not just irritating pests; they pose a
significant health threat by carrying diseases like West Nile virus, St. Louis
encephalitis virus, and Dengue fever. The alarming findings from 2019, where
mosquitoes in Anaheim and Westminster tested positive for St. Louis
Encephalitis virus for the first time since 1987, highlight the potential risks
to Orange County and L.A. residents.
The dynamic relationship between mosquitoes and garage
environments emphasizes the importance of using EPA-registered insect
repellents and proper clothing, especially during garage door repair or
installation work or when staying in a garage with inadequate ventilation. The
risk to individuals underscores the importance of controlling mosquitoes in
your environment and garage by focusing on eliminating breeding spots with
standing water, using larvicides for areas that can't be drained, improving
ventilation and airflow, trimming vegetation, and using screens on windows and
doors. Taking these steps can create a less appealing environment for
mosquitoes and reduce the associated health risks.
