Increase In Mosquitoes Expected This Summer

BEND, OR -- We may see more mosquitoes this summer. Four Rivers Vector Control is already seeing an increase.

The district says several dry years allowed eggs to build up in wetlands. Then, with our wet spring, they all hatched. Cold weather prevented early treatments so they are now running more fog trucks in south county and getting through neighborhoods in the vector district.

Officials remind you to drain standing water on your property and dress in long, loose, light-colored clothing.
