working around the clock to try and make sure that they are get these out here. they want to eliminate these mosquitoes and make sure that they don't spread this species. it's the one of the first they found in this county. it's in martinez. so the right now they're really focusing their treatment and elimination efforts there. they're doing surveillance and treatment in the area where they found the mosquitoes in martinez to make sure that eliminated before becoming widespread. officials say these mosquitoes are very aggressive day biters that can transmit viruses like zika and diseases like yellow fever, mosquitoes can hide in vegetation and debris, which makes it hard to find and eliminate them. so the control district is really setting up traps. they're going door to you and to your door and say, - can we look in your backyard, so be aware of that. this is a specific species is not native to california are usually found in tropical areas around the world. they're introduced through travel most commonly when people move and they bring in potted plants or maybe the party plans are brought here to be sold. these invasive mosquitoes are small

if black bodies and have white stripes. i'm so glad i don't have to look at this video because they creep me out. i'm terrified of mosquitoes. let's take a look at some tips from the control districts. you know what to do, toss out any amount of standing water. these mosquito eggs can stick into surfaces. so after dumping out the water scrub bird bats containers, outdoor pet dishes. >> any pots where you're pouring out that standing water? get that container anything, though, that that is and scrub and make sure you're doing that and report any day biting mosquito bites. you may get to the county mosquito and vector control district. they want to make sure that they know if you get bit you can come over maybe look at the area where you tive and then if they find them, they can eliminate them. i think the most important thing is getting rid of these mosquito eggs because that way it does get elected and they limit them. they can get rid of more mosquitoes from developing or

growing. now, the last time they saw this specific mosquito species in california was about 10 years ago. so that's why it's so important to get this out here and make sure you report any of those mosquito bites. very important. darya james food, mosquitoes that could out they're attracted to me by so yeah, get rid of so i want to clarify. and if you know this, so it's no other counties. >> it has not been the this type of mosquito has not been found in any other counties. >> contra costa county says the first species that they have found. and so then they said the last time they saw in california is 10 years ago. so from understanding, yeah, it looks like contra costa counties from the species and they're trying to make sure it doesn't spread. yeah, more counties all right, sarah, thank you very much. you 5.11 now. still ahead on the kron 4 morning news. new covid variants are emerging. >> in different countries
