Mosquitoes are particularly active this summer, posing a health risk to residents. In an effort to control their population, Fort Bend County has initiated aerial spraying.

Experts warn that mosquitoes can transmit serious diseases, causing more than just minor skin irritations. These diseases include West Nile and Zika, among others.

Further information on the mosquito-borne illnesses and control measures is available from local news sources, including KPRC 2 in Tomball, TX.
