The San Gabriel Valley foothills are seeing an increase in the number of tiny nuisance flies with a big bite.
The valley's Mosquito and Vector Control District said black fly activity is high and will likely remain that way for a few weeks. The District is treating breeding sites near rivers to reduce the population of black flies, also called 'eye-biting flies,' but it takes time for treatments to take effect.
The flies earned their nickname because they tend to bite around the eyes and necklines of humans and domestic animals. The bites are painful, but do not transmit diseases in Los Angeles County.
