The abundance of rain this summer has made conditions even more favourable for mosquitos. The Town of Kindersley utilizes several methods of mosquito control to reduce the nuisance of mosquitos and help prevent threats to public health.
Every year, Public Works treats standing water within a 5 km radius of Kindersley with a biological control agent known as Vectobac. All standing water (in ditches, sloughs, near railway tracks, tree holes, gutters, sewage lagoons, culverts, etc.) is surveyed and treated on a regular basis by employees specifically trained to apply the product. The product kills larvae eggs but does not cause harm to any other species that prey on mosquitos. The amount of Vectobac used is determined by the amount of larvae discovered when the water is tested.
