INVASIVE AEDES MOSQUITOES DETECTED IN PLACER COUNTY Yellow fever mosquito detected in Placer County. District implements response plan. ROSEVILLE, Calif., July 19, 2022 – The Placer Mosquito and Vector Control District detected an invasive (non-native) species of mosquito on Thursday, July 14. The Aedes aegypti, commonly known as the yellow fever mosquito, was found in a residential Granite Bay neighborhood just south of Granite Bay High School. The California Department of Public Health confirmed the invasive species detection. “We are following our invasive mosquito response plan to determine the extent of the infestation,” said Joel Buettner, General Manager. “We ask residents to help us by allowing our technicians to inspect front and back yards of nearby properties." The District uses a science-based, Integrated Vector Management approach to assess mosquito activity and risk and conduct appropriate mosquito control. The District’s approach for the detected mosquito area is conducting door-to-door property inspections and setting mosquito traps to determine the infestation level. The Aedes aegypti mosquito has been steadily spreading through California since it was first detected in Southern California in 2013. In 2021, several northern California counties reported detections including Shasta, Yuba, Butte, Yolo and Sacramento. The mosquito is small and dark with a white violin-shaped marking on its back. Aedes aegypti can transmit several viruses, including Zika, dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever. These viruses, however, have not been found circulating in California. “While we are not aware of any local transmission of viral illnesses due to Aedes aegypti, the local appearance of these mosquitoes warrants extra precautions,” said Placer County Interim Health Officer Rob Oldham. The public can help protect themselves by reporting unusual, daytime mosquito biting. The District also urges the public to eliminate standing water and runoff or pooling from irrigation systems since these mosquitoes can breed in small amounts of water and cryptic sources. Residents can also prevent mosquito bites by using EPA-registered repellents. For more information, contact the Placer Mosquito and Vector Control District at (916) 380-5444 or placermosquito.org. Follow the District on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok: @placermosquito. For a list of EPA-registered repellents, please visit placermosquito.org/repellent or cdc.gov/westnile/faq/repellent.html. ### Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Copyright © 2022 Placer Mosquito and Vector Control District, All rights reserved.

Gun Safety By: Rob Baquera, Public Information Officer, Roseville Police Department If you live in one of the 44% of U.S. households with a gun, Roseville P.D. urges you to ensure guns are always stored safely. Safe gun storage means all guns are (1) locked (2) unloaded and (3) securely stored separately from ammunition. Why? An estimated 54% of U.S. gun owners don’t lock all their guns safely. 4.6 million American kids live in homes with at least one loaded, unsecured gun. Firearms are the leading cause of death for children ages 1-19. That includes homicides, accidental shootings, and suicides. In incidents of gunfire on school grounds, up to 80% of shooters got the gun from the home of friends or relatives. It’s the law. California is one of six states that requires safe gun storage, meaning all guns must be stored unloaded and in a place that’s not accessible to children or any adults who are prohibited from possessing a firearm. Safely transporting firearms—According to California law, if you’re transporting a handgun or registered assault weapon in a vehicle, it must be unloaded and locked in the car’s trunk or in a locked container, like a gun lock box. A vehicle’s cargo compartment or glove box does not qualify as a locked container. Shotguns and regular rifles don’t have to be in a locked container but must be unloaded during transport. How? If you own two or more firearms, a gun safe is a good option for home storage. To better protect your firearms from theft, secure the safe to a structure in the house or garage—for example, bolt it to the wall or floor. A biometric lock (one that opens only with the owner’s thumbprint) is safer than a key or combination lock. A gun lockbox is lighter than a safe and is an option for storing single guns at home or transporting them in a vehicle. Again, a biometric (thumb/fingerprint) lock is safer than a key or combination lock. A vehicle console/vehicle gun safe safely stores guns and can prevent theft if the safe is secured to the vehicle. Biometric locks are preferred. Trigger locks and cable locks prevent a gun from being fired (Never use a trigger lock on a loaded gun). They can be dismantled with minimal tools and skills, so they’re not the safest option around older children and teens. If you’re shopping for a new firearm, consider a personalized or “smart” gun that employs authorized use technology. like a thumb scan or a passcode on your smartphone. That ensures only you can use your firearm, and not a child or other unauthorized person. BUT… Doesn’t this defeat the purpose of having a gun readily at hand in case I need to protect myself? - There are many affordable options for firearms storage that allow gun owners quick access while still preventing access by children and other people at increased risk of harming themselves or others. I don’t have kids and I never have children visit my home. Why do I need to be concerned about safe gun storage? - Your gun could be stolen and used in a violent crime. It’s estimated that 380,000 guns are stolen from private gun owners every year, many from vehicles. Studies have shown that you’re much less likely to have a gun stolen if it’s safely stored. - Safe gun storage is required by California law. Source: Everytown Research & Policy.
