Mosquito Invasion waiting at the heat – Helsingborgs Dagblad

– Is it 10 degrees, it is not so many species flying around, but it will be a 20-25 degrees, it becomes a heavenly off on all of us, says Jan Lundström.

In some places in the country is mosquito problems are already huge. Forshaga Värmland and Enhörna near Södertälje has been invaded by the aggressive flood mosquito. Övertorneå has applied for permission to fight mosquitoes by spraying, but has not yet received the green light to do so.

– There are a lot of mosquitoes. They came late this year because we had such a cold spring, but by midsummer they started coming, says Tomas Vedestig, Mayor of Övertorneå.

– It learns well then increase when the heat will seriously, he says .

Lower Dalälven,

which is another very mosquito-affected region, has put millions of dollars on biological mosquito control for the situation to improve. Recently, the government approved an application for a further five million for mosquito control in Gävleborg, Uppsala, Dalarna and Västmanland.

– They had had one of his worst myggår this year if we had not done fighting area. But now mosquitoes amounts to quite low levels. They had not been able to be out there at all otherwise, says Jan Lundström.
