Lethbridge to see an 'average' mosquito season, mitigation work underway

"Following a drought year from last season and a pretty low mosquito level population going into 2024, a nice wet spring is setting things up for bringing things up to average," said Todd Carter, a mosquito technician with the city.

The city uses a naturally occurring bacteria to control and prevent the mosquitoes. The larvicide is coated on corn meal, which Carter then throws into the areas with known larvae to kill them before they hatch and spread. Before venturing out, he says be prepared by wearing long sleeves, repellent and avoiding peak mosquito times such as dusk and dawn.
