There are fewer places for mosquitoes to find refuge around Winnipeg.

The city began fogging on the weekend and now the Rural Municipality of West St. Paul, just north of the city, is jumping on the fogging wagon as well.

It will start spraying Malathion on Monday at 9:30 p.m.

If it gets cancelled due to poor weather conditions, the fogging will be rescheduled as soon possible.

The fogging will include private roadways and field roads throughout the municipality.
