mosquitoes

27 mugshots of individuals arrested and booked into the Lubbock County Detention Center during the week of June 26 - July 2, 2023.

We have to deal with the deadliest creature in the area. No, it's not rattlesnakes, coyotes, rabid animals, or even an angry fox. It is a minuscule, tiny creature that wants to kill you.

Let's face it, mosquitoes are a nuisance and they carry disease. Name one person that likes mosquitos (I'm not even sure PETA does).

Don't let these annoyances ruin your summer

Thanks to the much needed rain we’ve gotten over the last few weeks, we now have a mosquito problem in Amarillo.

I just got back from a week long vacation. I was visiting family up in the Philadelphia area. It was great to see my family and friends. Here's what I missed about Amarillo.

The virus was contracted while the host was in another country.

With summer here, that usually means lots of mosquitoes.  And now, the City of Amarillo’s Public Health department has received confirmation that the Zika virus is here.

There have been 19 confirmed cases of Zika in Texas this year.

The City of Amarillo is beginning a program called "Mission Mosquitoes" to help alert the public to the dangers of getting bitten by mosquitoes.

Have you seen the size of the mosquitoes in Amarillo here lately?  They look like flying spiders!  Recent rains have made for the ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes, and you've gotta do everything you can to fight the bite.
