The City of Grande Prairie will be performing annual pest and mosquito control operations within the municipal boundaries of Grande Prairie starting in April.

Pest control operations include spraying for noxious weeds, insects and plant diseases. All products used are registered with Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency for these purposes.

Mosquito control operations will only apply to temporary standing water locations which support mosquito larvae residing within the Mosquito Control Boundary shown on the map below. These control operations utilize the granular mosquito larvicide Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis, which is both environmentally friendly and target specific.

“We are committed to ensuring the health and safety of residents through our annual pest and mosquito control operations,” said City of Grande Prairie Parks Director, Kase DeVries. “Our environmentally friendly approach ensures effective and responsible management of pests within our community."

Residents who have allergies to pest control products can notify Parks Operations by calling AccessGP at 311.
