Los Angeles tops U.S. mosquito activity list for 6th year, signaling a nationwide rise in mosquito-borne risks.

Los Angeles has led the U.S. in mosquito activity for six consecutive years, overtaking Atlanta, which held the top spot from 2015 to 2020. Mosquito activity is expanding beyond traditional hotspots, affecting cities nationwide, including new entries in the Midwest and other regions. This rise increases the risk of mosquito-borne diseases like West Nile virus and dengue fever, highlighting the importance of prevention. Orkin continues its partnership with the American Red Cross to raise awareness and support blood donations during peak mosquito season.
