Mosquitoes are particularly active this summer in the Houston area. As a result, Fort Bend County has initiated aerial spraying to control their population.

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

Further information on mosquito-borne illnesses and prevention measures can be found through local news sources, such as KPRC 2 Houston, for residents in Sugar Land and surrounding areas.
