Lower than average mosquito population in North Battleford
The North Battleford forecast for those pesky little skeeters which can ruin summer fun doesn’t look so bad.
The mosquito population in North Battleford is lower than the average this year, thanks in part to drier conditions and less standing water.
Suzanne Abe, the communications coordinator for the City of North Battleford said weekly checkups on the mosquito numbers are done on marked sites.
“We have a dipstick and there is a cup attached to it,” Abe explained. “We take some water out of these sites, monitored sites we have, and just count the larvae in there.”
