We live in the border of Pasadena & Arcadia, not too far from West Covina. I just talked to our vet assistant & she said there were no reported cases here...yet & they heard about this issue. As a preventative, she recommended K9 Advantix. It says it kills mosquitoes, but will they still bite before killing them? I'm confused...

Some mosquitoes here carry the West Nile Virus too...
