Mosquitos are a relatively “new” issue in southern california, with wetter winters giving the water-borne pests more spots to breed.
Luckily the San Bernardino County Mosquito and Vector Control Program (or MVC) is here to protect the public health by controlling these pests, reducing the risk of diseases like West Nile virus and the plague.
The MVC conducts inspections and treatment of water sources here in San Bernardino County to control mosquito breeding or any other diseases that may become a threat to public health.
If you know of a problem area with mosquitos, ticks, rodents, or other disease spreading animals – you can contact the MVC who will use environmentally sensitive methods to control the pests.

Here’s a video of featuring someone in a big Mosquito costume, and that sentence alone makes it worth a click:
