Here are five things to start off your Monday and the week in South Gate and Lynwood:

2. South Gate and Lynwood are among the Los Angeles County cities where samples of mosquitoes with West Nile Virus have been found. 
   
3. Have ants in your home? The summer time brings a lot of wonderful things: longer days, sunny beaches, and warm nights. However, the summer also brings scorching heat waves, power-outs, and, worst of all, ants! Here are our tips to get rid of them. 
4. Gas prices are beginning to fall again after nine days of increases. The average price for a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County is now $4.11.
