Compared to your garden variety mosquitoes, these pests are smaller, quieter and a potential menace to public health.
“They are not supposed to be here,” said Conlan, superivising vector ecologist for the county, “but they’ve decided to call San Diego County home.”
Since spring, the pests have been reported from Oceanside to the Mexican border, from Point Loma to El Cajon.“We are getting a lot more reports from people who said they never used to have problems with mosquitoes and now they can’t even go outside to have a meal, say, without getting bitten,” Conlan said. “It’s an avid biter of people, very adept at entering homes and bothering people in their homes.
“Silent and deadly,” said B.J. Tibbett, a construction worker from Santee, while fielding fly balls with members of his softball team Monday. “You don’t notice them until there are a bunch on your legs. You don’t hear anything.” Residents whose work or play exposes them to mosquito-prone areas can use over-the-counter insect repellents. Tibbett wears a DEET bracelet; his teammate in left field, Randy Witzel, favors Off! and citronella candles. Vicki Pinkus, a retired real estate salesperson and journalist, covers up as much as possible, even in hot weather.
