July 11, 2025 (San Diego County) -- San Diego County officials plan to expand and extend ultra-low volume, truck-mounted, pesticide-mist treatments between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. Monday and Tuesday mornings in parts of La Mesa to reduce mosquito populations and protect the public from the potential spread of West Nile virus.
County Vector Control announced this week that crews would conduct truck treatments through roughly 4,000 parcels in the community of Rolando, including parts of La Mesa and San Diego, between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Those treatments were done successfully Wednesday and Thursday and will continue Friday.
This weekend, Vector Control staff will be responding to emails at vector@sdcounty.ca.govand phone calls at (858) 694-2888 for questions from the community.
La Mesa city staff will also be available to answer questions at an information session from 10 a.m. until noon this Saturday, July 12 at the La Mesa Library, 8074 Allison Ave.
Treatments are now scheduled to be expanded into another 3,000 to 4,000 parcels in La Mesa after Vector Control detected more mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus. The new treatments will be done between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. Monday, July 14 and Tuesday, July 15.
