The City of Winnipeg will begin spraying for forest tent caterpillars this weekend.
A release said the city’s annual spraying will begin on Sunday in the Fort Richmond, South River Heights and Deer Lodge neighbourhoods at 9:30 p.m.
The summer schedule will run Sunday through Thursday evenings and is expected to last four weeks.
Residents who don’t want the pesticide sprayed near their property can apply to be part of the city’s approved buffer zones. Those approved will not have their property or any adjacent to it sprayed.
