TIRRA ~ Mosquito Strategy

TIRRA has been working on a mosquito mitigation strategy since the nuisance issue was raised last fall.

For TIRRA to proceed further, a public meeting was held 30th May 2015 to vote on approval to develop a Pest Management Plan (PMP) through the Ministry of Environment.

Thank you to everyone who turned out to this meeting on a warm sunny afternoon, and for the valuable input and feedback provided. The motion to develop a PMP was overwhelmingly carried by a majority of those present. 

The TIRRA Executive will be meeting shortly to establish a committee for developing the required site survey this summer, identifying potential larval mosquito habitats, for submission during the PMP process.

Thank you to those who have volunteered their names to be a part of the solution. If you are interested in being involved on this committee, and/or larvicide application, and have not submitted your name(s) already, please contact:
