Hello mosquito-fighting squad! Keep your repellent handy this fall, because just like us, mosquitoes are big fans of sweater weather.

May contain: pumpkin, food, plant, vegetable, shoe, clothing, apparel, footwear, human, and person

Based on our October 12-16 trap report, the mosquito population remains at large throughout the San Gabriel Valley. This likely means that we'll be celebrating the upcoming holidays with an uninvited, hungry guest. But no need to freak out about setting an extra plate just yet-- this guest will be craving a tasty meal that isn't on the menu.

Mosquito populations, including Aedes, may remain active into November
