Low Flying Helicopters in West St. Paul

Did you know?

Low-flying helicopters spotted in and around the RM of West St. Paul are part of the annual mosquito control program conducted by the City of Winnipeg.

Helicopters are used to apply larvicide to standing water areas to help reduce mosquito populations before they hatch. The larvicide specifically targets mosquito larvae and is safe for people, pets, and wildlife when applied as directed.

This is a normal seasonal activity that typically takes place in the spring when conditions are right for mosquito development.
