Mosquitoes are particularly active this summer, prompting concerns about mosquito-borne illnesses. In response to the high mosquito population, Fort Bend County has initiated aerial spraying to control the numbers.

Experts warn that mosquitoes can transmit diseases, causing more severe health issues than just itchy bites. These diseases include West Nile and Zika.

Further information on the mosquito-borne illnesses and control efforts is available through KPRC 2 Houston.
