Skeeters Enjoy Fort Feast

The mosquitoes are bad in Fort Langley right now--Thomasso notes on his blog that they actually chased people off the Brae Island beach on the hottest day of the year.

The Township, as part of our West Nile virus control program, does a lot of spraying for mosquitoes, but we are hampered by Metro Vancouver's outright refusal to take care of their regional parks. Every year, we ask them to take care of their bugs, and every year, they say no. Brae Island includes several patches of standing water, which just breed more mosquitoes.
