SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Homeowners in La Mesa are being warned their houses could be at risk of a destructive pest: Formosan subterranean termites.San Diego-based company Thrasher Termite & Pest Control made the unfortunate discovery this month in a La Mesa home."Unlike native subterranean termites, the termites we observed were extremely active, didn't flee when disturbed, and the soldiers went into attack mode. They had hollowed out large areas of structural wood, always staying just beneath the exterior paint and unnoticed by the homeowner," said Garrett Thrasher.They're deemed "super-termites" due to enormous colonies up to two million strong. The pests can cause significant structural damage within six months unlike traditional dry-wood termites, which take 10-15 years to do similar damage.RELATED: Heat and humidity creating perfect conditions for bugsThe invasive species of termites was first discovered in La Mesa in 1992. Efforts to eradicate the population were thought to be successful, but pest control experts say that's no longer the case. Years after the discovery, monitoring efforts eventually stopped due to a lack of funding."They can't fly very far, but there's so many of them that they've continued to survive since the last sighting," said Thrasher.About 60 homeowners have received letters from San Diego County officials warning of potential risk.Thrasher says it's hard to say how large the problem is but he believes the pests have a strong foothold in the area.According to the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources, the 1992 Formosan subterranean termite infestation was estimated to be about ten years old. This age corresponds to a time that a family living at the epicenter of the affected area brought wood and potted plants with them when they moved to La Mesa from Hawaii. Formosan subterranean termite is common in Hawaii; the species was misidentified for several years after its introduction in San Diego.RELATED: San Diegans report increase in mosquitoes during heat waveAs with virtually all species of termites, researchers say the hidden nature of young Formosan colonies make them especially difficult to detect and identify. Damage by young colonies is often localized and may go unnoticed for years.HOW CAN YOU TELL IF YOU HAVE FORMOSAN TERMITES?Check for what may look like paint chips around your windows or any wood area of your home. These may be hollowed-out areas created by termites.You can also check trees on your property for any obvious signs of termite; wood often appears to have been eaten away along the grain pattern.Another red flag is seeing swarmers; this is how they reproduce.WHAT CAN YOU DO IF YOU HAVE AN INFESTATION?Calling a pest control company is the first step. A professional will need to treat your home and create a chemical barrier. 2860

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- For most San Diegans, recent rainfall is a welcomed change, but a recent abundance of storms may have some unintended consequences for the county. One expert says recent rain is already triggering allergies while at least one county department is wondering what the impact will be on San Diego’s mosquito population. Rain may affect mosquito populationsChris Conlan, Supervising Vector Ecologist for San Diego County, says it’s a bit too early to predict this year’s mosquito population. “It depends on several circumstances, not just the rainfall alone,” Conlan said. According to Conlan, warm temperatures and the timing of the rainfall also play a major role. “If there’s a lot of standing water still lying around when the warm weather kicks on, then yeah, that could mean that we get a slightly buggier start to the spring than what we would have liked.”Mosquitoes only breed in standing water. When San Diego gets a lot of rain, Conlan says areas that usually have standing water are flowing, minimizing the risk of mosquitoes breeding. “In very dry years you could still have mosquito problems because then, areas that might have otherwise been flowing, are now becoming stagnant.”Dry years in San Diego have actually been some of the worst for West Nile, Conlan said. “We’ve had some of our worst West Nile years during drought. It’s not entirely dependent on the rain.”Conlan says it’s too early in the season to know whether or not an increase in this year’s mosquito population is on the horizon. “It’s a little early to start making predictions. My crystal ball is in the shop at the moment,” Conlan said. Conlan says in a normal year, mosquito season starts in April and ends in October or November. Though it’s unclear when this year’s mosquito season will begin, the county is urging everyone to take action by making sure there’s no standing water around their homes and in backyards. “If it can hold water it can probably breed mosquitoes,” Conlan said. One thing the county is keeping a close eye on are several new species of mosquitoes that have the capability to transmit new tropical diseases.The mosquitoes are fairly new here and have only been in the county for about four years, Conlan said. Further research is needed to determine exactly why the mosquitoes have all of a sudden decided to call San Diego home. “(The new mosquitoes) now bring the unfortunate opportunity for things like say Zika or Dengue to go ahead and potentially be transmitted here.”Conlan says, though no human transmission of such diseases have happened yet in San Diego County, the more people can do to mitigate the risk, the better. “What we don’t want to see is for people to let their guard down and then have some places where those mosquitoes become very locally abundant.”“If that were to occur, it would raise the possibility that, if someone were to return from a trip infected with one of these diseases, those mosquitoes could pick it up and transmit it to someone who hadn’t gone anywhere.”Conlan said the new breeds, known as aedes mosquitoes, are very happy to call small containers in backyards home. “The more people can do to keep that water from being there, the less of a chance we’re going to have of mosquito problems in people’s backyards,” Conlan concluded. Allergies expected to be worse Another concern amid all the rain is increased allergies. Dr. Dana Ger, the Clinical Director for Scripps Health Express said the clinics have already been seeing cases of allergies. "In San Diego, who knows when it’s spring, who knows when it’s fall” Ger said jokingly. Ger said the recent moisture has brought with it allergies throughout the county. According to Ger, the moisture does more than just cause plant growth. Clouds and rain also force pollen closer to the ground, affecting people’s allergies. Allergy season may be off to a bad start, but it could get much worse. “We anticipate that it could get pretty bad,” Ger said. “One of the concerns is that people who have mild allergies absolutely could have worse allergies and, as with any year, people who had mild allergies in prior years, allergies can increase.”Ger recommends that people who are unsure what to do about their allergies see their doctor.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Hospital beds are filling up quickly with available capacity at zero in Southern California.ICE Nurse Peter Sidhu is overwhelmed. The Los Angeles County RN says their hospitals are on the brink of their limits.“We’re having an influx of patients like I’ve never seen before,” said Sidhu. “We’re running out of space. We’re converting any and every room into a patient room.”He feels more protected after getting the vaccine Thursday but says being short-staffed is a whole other threat. Sidhu also serves as treasurer for the UNAC/UHCP nurses union. He says hospitals have been facing systemic nursing shortages since the early 2000s.“You’ll be lucky to even get a restroom break. You’re on your feet, you’re running, patients are being intubated,” said Sidhu. “We don’t have enough staff. We didn’t have enough staff to take care of our patients before we had COVID.”California groups counties into five regions as part of the new stay-at-home order. On Thursday, the Southern California region available ICU capacity hit zero, even though availability for San Diego County is about 16%. That’s in part because other counties contribute to our region’s total. Inyo County only has two ICU beds open as of Dec. 18. Imperial County has no beds left.“You can open up empty wings, you can convert auditoriums, you can see what some places are doing which is parking structures and tents,” said Sidhu. “But, you can’t replace nurses.”While there are still some ICU beds open in San Diego, they’re filling up quickly. Scripps hospitals tells ABC 10News they’ve requested additional ventilators and respiratory therapists from the county.“We’ve constructed temporary negative pressure rooms, added surge tents at our emergency departments, and expanded COVID care to additional hospital floors,” said Scripps spokesperson Stephen Carpowich.For people who still aren’t being safe, Sidhu as this warning.“I’m looking at the kinds of patients that we have. They’re younger than I thought they would be. They’re healthier. And now they’re all suffering from COVID,” said Sidhu.The county says they’re holding off on some vital procedures like organ transplants and cancer surgeries in non-COVID patients to make more room. 2239
