The city of Winnipeg’s mosquito fogging program has been suspended for the season on Saturday.

They say all insect management areas were completed as of Friday night.

Trap counts will continue to be reviewed and fogging will resume if necessary, they say.

A public service announcement will be issued at least eight hours in advance if fogging begins again.
