Saskatoon’s most recent mosquito numbers almost 12 times average – Saskatoon | 24CA News

The variety of mosquitoes in Saskatoon skyrocketed above the ten-year common over the past week, forcing residents to interrupt out the bug spray.

The City of Saskatoon caught a mean of 24 mosquitoes a day from June 4-10, over 4 occasions larger than the earlier week.

Last yr, the town reported barely with the ability to catch one a day.

The 10-year common sits simply barely above two mosquitoes caught per day.

There have been no stories of any culex tarsalis mosquitoes, which carry the West Nile virus.
