"Rampant Rise of Aggressive Mosquitoes in Las Vegas Valley Sparks Concern"
The aggressive Aedes Aegypti mosquito species, also known as the Yellow Fever Mosquito, has been thriving in the Las Vegas Valley since 2017, spreading to 32 zip codes. This species prefers to feed on humans and is difficult to control unless people actively manage standing water around their homes, as even dried-out sources can rehydrate the mosquito eggs.
