Central Okanagan residents will hopefully hear a bit less buzzing in their ears this summer thanks to a mosquito control program.
Regional district staff will be on their scooters this weekend dropping water soluble pouches containing mosquito larvicide into roadside catch basins, in an attempt to control the insect鈥檚 population.
If active breeding is found in any of the approximately 12,000 basins that are distributed, the larvicide is spread into the water, killing the larvae within 24 hours.
The basins will be set up throughout 麻豆精选, Lake Country, Peachland, Westbank First Nation, the Sunset Ranch community in the Central Okanagan East Electoral Area and a small section of West 麻豆精选 Estates in West 麻豆精选.
