Annual work to manage the mosquito population in the city is set to start on Friday.
According to City of Grande Prairie officials, the annual mosquito control work will focus on areas where there is temporary standing water, which is where the mosquito larvae will develop into mosquitos. The work will be done in a pre-designated Mosquito Control Boundary, and a Health Canada-approved larvicide will be used that targets only the larvae and not the ecosystem in which they live.
Anyone who lives in areas scheduled for treatment will receive notice ahead of time along with information on the work. Anyone with concerns is encouraged to call 311.
