The Town of Shaunavon has announced the start of their Mosquito Control Program for 2021.

The program was implemented last year for the control of adult mosquitoes and DeltaGard 20EW will be the pesticide used again.

DeltaGard 20EW is an insecticide registered for use in Canada for wide mosquito control and it is classified as a reduced-risk pesticide, meaning it should not have any effect on gardens, plants, or animals.

Ron Phillips is the Director of Operations for The Town of Shaunavon. He talked about when they will be fogging. "It'll be between dusk and dawn Tuesday or Wednesday evenings depending on weather."

Fogging will continue, as necessary, on Tuesdays or Wednesdays throughout the summer.
