Dealing with biting insects
I don’t know any outdoors person who professes a deep and abiding love of biting insects. Here's a quick rundown how to deal with the worst:
West Nile virus widespread in turkey range
West Nile virus (WNV) is widespread across Ontario and Quebec’s wild turkey range.
West Nile virus found in Peterborough
The first mosquitoes to test positive for West Nile virus (WNV) in Ontario this year were trapped in the City of Peterborough from July 20 to 23.
Permethrin-treated clothing available in Canada
A new line of permethrin-treated clothing to ward off ticks, mosquitoes, and the diseases they harbour, is now available in Canada.
Mosquitoes more abundant this spring
For those wondering if they have been swatting at more flying, blood-sucking insects than usual while outdoors this spring, experts confirm the answer is yes.
