The mosquito population in Edmonton, Canada, has remained low despite recent rainfall, according to the city’s resident bug expert. The dry spring and low moisture levels from snowmelt have contributed to the low mosquito population. While some hatching has occurred in roadside ditch habitats, the dry ground and thirsty plants have absorbed most of the water in agricultural areas, preventing significant mosquito development. The city is actively treating the roadside ditch habitats to control mosquito activity. Overall, the mosquito population is expected to remain low unless weather conditions change significantly, allowing for more mosquito breeding.
