No more point in being in denial that West Nile virus has arrived in San Mateo County. According to the Daily Post over the weekend, the SMCMVCD (the "bug guys") started spraying in San Mateo last night. Infected mosquitos were collected in the Marina Lagoon northeast of the interchange of 101 and 92. That is pretty much in our 'hood extending north to E. 3rd St in San Mateo.
Next time I run into our Mosquito commissioner, I'll hopefully get an update. In the meantime, go outside and look for things that hold water–that watering can you never use or the upside down frisbee in sprinkler range and empty them out. Hopefully the County will put aside 50 year sea-level rise concerns and deal with the problem at hand.
