Get rid of standing wateraround your home.

Empty water out ofbuckets, old tires,flower pots and toys.

Change water everyfew days from petbowls and bird baths.

Keep good screens onyour windows and doors.

Screens will keep mosquitoes out.

Avoid mosquito bites!

Mosquitoes bite in theearly morning and earlyevening hours.

¡Mantenga su hogar seguro!¿Qué puede hacer?

Los mosquitos ponen huevos y crecen en el agua estancada.

En sólo 7 días nace una larva de mosquito del huevo y se convierte en un mosquito adulto.

Elimine toda el agua estancada que haya cerca de su casa.

Vacíe el agua de losbaldes, llantas viejas,macetas y juguetes.

Cambie con frecuencia el agua de los recipientes de susmascotas y pájaros.

Mantenga las mallas/telas metálicas de las puertas y ventanas en buen estado.

Las mallas no dejarán entrar a los mosquitos.

¡Evite las picaduras de mosquito!

Los mosquitos pican en las primeras horas de la mañana y de la noche.

Dos horas después de la puesta del sol es cuando los mosquitos pican más.

Si sale a esas horas, use pantalones largos y camisa de manga larga.

Use también repelentes contra insectos que contengan DEET. Aplique el repelente en la piel que no esté cubierta por la ropa.

La DEET en el repelente contra insectos evita que los mosquitos lo piquen.

Siga las instruccionescon mucho cuidado.

¡Avise a sus amigos y vecinos!

El virus del Nilo Occidental ahora afecta a toda California.

Los pájaros muertos son una señal de que el virus del Nilo Occidental ha llegado a su área.

Pájaros como cornejas, cuervos y arrendajos pueden enfermar gravemente y morir a causa del virus del Nilo Occidental.

Usted no se contagiará del virus del Nilo Occidental por tocar un pájaro muerto.

West Nile virus is now found throughout California.

Dead birds are a sign that West Nile virus is in your area.

Birds like crows, ravens, and jays get very sick and can die from West Nile virus.

You do not get West Nile virus from touching a dead bird.

To monitor the spread of the virus, the State is tracking dead birds.

or call toll-free1-877-WNV-BIRD or 1-877-968-2473.

Avoid mosquito bites!

Mosquitoes bite in the early morning and early evening hours.

Two hours after the sun sets is when mosquitoes bite the most.

If you go out at these times wear long pants and long sleeved shirts.

Also, use insect repellent with DEET in it. Put the repellent on your skin that is not covered by clothes.

The DEET in the insect repellent keeps mosquitoes from biting you.

Follow the directions carefully.

Keep your home safe!What can you do?

Mosquitoes lay their eggs and grow in standing water.

It only takes 7 days for a mosquito egg to hatch and become an adult mosquito.

Get rid of standing water around your home.

Empty water out of buckets, old tires, flower pots and toys.

Change water every few days from pet bowls and bird baths.

Keep good screens on your windows and doors.

Screens will keep mosquitoes out.

West Nile virus is a virus carried by mosquitoes. West Nile virus can cause serious illness in humans.

The virus has been found in the Middle East, Africa, and West Asia since the 1930s. West Nile virus was first found in the United States in 1999.

West Nile first appeared in California in 2003, and is here to stay. It is a seasonal disease that flares up in the summer and continues into the fall. In some parts of California, people can be infected with West Nile virus year-round.

To help protect yourself and others from West Nile virus,use repellents that contain DEET, Picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus before going outdoors.

You can get West Nile virus if an infected mosquito bites you.

People over age 50 are more likely to become very sick or die if they get infected by West Nile virus. In 2004, over 70 percent of the West Nile virus fatalities were in people over the age of 50.

Most people are bitten doing everyday activities around their own home like gardening, sitting outside, and barbequing. Keeping mosquitoes from biting you reduces your risk of getting West Nile virus.

Symptoms of West Nile virus usually will appear 3 to 14 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito.

Most people with West Nile virus will not have any symptoms. However, older people or the immune-compromised, such as those on cancer chemotherapy, are more likely to get West Nile virus.

Common symptoms of West Nile virus include fever, headache, body aches, and sometimes skin rashes or swollen lymph nodes. These symptoms may last a few days, but there are reports of prolonged fatigue and muscle weakness.

Serious symptoms include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, disorientation, coma, tremors, muscle weakness, loss of vision, convulsions, numbness, and paralysis. These symptoms may last several weeks and can cause permanent nervous system damage.

Seek medical attention right away if you have any of these symptoms.

Fix or replace missing or torn DOOR and window screens to keep mosquitoes out of your home. Offer to help neighbors fix their screens.

DRAIN standing water in and around your yard so mosquitoes will not have a place to lay their eggs. Change water in pet dishes, birdbaths, plants, and flower containers weekly. Keep gutters free from leaves and debris. Help others in your neighborhood to “mosquito proof” their yards, too.
