Six dangerous invasive mosquitos have been caught in East San Jose, and the Santa Clara County Vector Control District is asking residents for help to keep them from gaining a foothold in the Bay Area .
The mosquitoes aren’t native to California — though they have become established throughout the south and center of the state. Unlike most native species, aegypti is active at all times of the day, bites multiple times, and can carry Zika, Dengue, Yellow Fever, or Chikungunya. Should the mosquitoes spread, the county is considering different types of pesticide application. However, the county hopes to enlist local residents in eliminating the mosquitoes before they spread further.
