WINNIPEG — The city’s mosquito fogging trucks will be on the streets Thursday evening, and targeting neighbourhoods in the central and northwest Winnipeg first.
Crews will start fogging at 9:30 p.m., weather permitting. Trucks will be on the streets until 6:30 a.m., fogging in areas 35 to 39 and 42 to 51.
For a detailed list on the treatment areas, you can check out the city’s website.
All buffer zones will be respected, the city said in a media release sent Thursday. Crews will ensure that the sprayer is not treating within 90 metres on each side of a registered property on the front street, side street and rear lane.
On Thursday, the city-wide trap count was 59 and high.
