Nobody decorates for Halloween thinking about mosquitoes. Maybe this year. The cauldron. Collapsing pumpkins. The inflatable's base. Tarps in the graveyard scene. Candy buckets. Anything that collects water counts, and some of it has for weeks. Tip it out. #Compton #Halloween

Late October check-in. LA County Public Health has reported 279 West Nile cases this season. All of last season was 22. Weekly yard check. Repellent in the evening. We're still in the field. #WestNileVirus #Compton

Practice runs long. The field’s in the next part of the district. It gets dark while you wait, and everybody stands around after.That’s dusk, away from home, several times a week.Put mosquito repellent in the bag that already goes, and leave it there. #Compton #MosquitoPrevention

This week's storm dropped up to a third of an inch of rain near Compton. A warm, dry weekend follows. Mosquito eggs left in dry containers can hatch once water returns. Take 10 minutes: tip and toss water from buckets, saucers, toys and gutters. comptoncreekmad.org/what-cou… #compton

Can your smartphone help scientists better understand #mosquito bites? University of Florida researchers developed a "Bite Diary" app to track mosquito bites and compare reports with mosquito populations in nearby yards.

Scary but true, mosquitoes are still around the Bay Area this time of year. When you're out and about, make sure to wear long sleeves, pants and carry insect repellent with you in case the little bloodsuckers try to find you.

Fix drainage while there's nothing draining. El Niño is strengthening, which raises the odds of a wetter winter. Not a storm warning. Just a reason to do it now rather than later. Gutters. Sagging tarps. Low spots. The side yard. Pick one this week. #Compton #ElNino

Clocks go back Sunday, Nov. 1. Dusk arrives an hour earlier—and that’s when West Nile mosquitoes feed. Protect yourself during your commute, at the bus stop, or after practice. #Compton #WestNileVirus #MosquitoPrevention

Three things. Every week. Yes, again. The saucer under the potted plant. The low spot in the tarp. The bucket behind the garage. Egg to adult takes about 5 to 7 days in warm weather. Tip it out on sight. #Compton #MosquitoPrevention

You've probably walked past one. Traps go out across the district on a regular schedule. Collected, identified by species, tested for virus. That's where a local picture comes from: a trap, a lab, and a route somebody drives. #Compton #ComptonCreekMAD
