Mosquito Season Back with a Vengeance | Winnipeg News

Mosquito season is officially back in Winnipeg and southern Manitoba after a dry, bug-free stretch — thanks to spring rains that created the perfect breeding ground. The city’s adult nuisance mosquito control program has kicked in, targeting 14 zones with Health Canada-approved insecticide during ideal wind and temperature windows. With trap counts soaring past 25 and some areas hitting over 100 mosquitoes, officials are on high alert — not just for the bites, but for the potential spread of West Nile virus. This year’s “bumper crop” could make summer nights a real battle, but Winnipeggers aren’t backing down. Long sleeves, DEET, and bug zappers are on standby — because no summer patio or cottage weekend is going to be ruined by a few bloodsuckers.
