Swarm Alert: Minnesota’s Mosquito Numbers Surge Amid Rainfall

ST. PAUL, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – As rainfall saturates Minnesota, mosquito numbers are soaring, surpassing the 10-year average. Alex Carlson from the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District warns that the abundant rain is fueling increased hatching. Technicians are discovering dippers brimming with larvae, indicating a forthcoming emergence of adult mosquitoes in about a week. Expect heightened mosquito activity for the next few weeks, especially in rural and wooded regions. Last June’s drop in numbers due to drought conditions is now reversed.
