Mosquitoes are prolific in Revelstoke in 2025. It feels among the worst seasons in 15+ years. Additional treatments are being added; but a staff and contractor report both highlight known limitations. One report says what we really need is sustained hot and dry summer conditions to suppress them. 🦟
