Drop in mosquito population not necessarily reason to celebrate
PRINCE GEORGE – Whether it’s been walking through the park or hitting the golf course over the summer, many in Prince George noticed less mosquitos than usual this summer. The reason behind the mosquito disappearing act is quite simple: the weather hasn’t been right for them.
“It’s been pretty dry throughout the spring and into a good part of the summer as well, and the mosquitos rely a lot on water for their life cycle,” said UNBC Faculty of Environment Professor Dezene Huber.
