Description

Manitoba’s scorching heat wave has spiked West Nile virus risk as mosquito populations explode—traps now catching 150+ mosquitoes where they once averaged 20. With the province issuing a fogging order and spraying starting Friday using DeltaGard 20EW in high-risk zones like Winnipeg’s Fairfield Park and rural communities including Carman and Winkler, officials are racing to curb spread before peak exposure season hits. No confirmed human cases yet, but one bite can be deadly—this is a critical, proactive defense.
