Montréal, Canada experiences a significant mosquito population during the warmer months, typically from late spring to early fall. Located in a region with a humid continental climate, mosquitoes are most active in areas with standing water, such as parks, gardens, and near bodies of water like the St. Lawrence River. The city's mosquito situation can vary depending on the time of year and weather conditions.
Mosquitoes in Montréal can carry diseases such as West Nile virus, posing a health risk to humans. To control the mosquito population and minimize the risk of disease transmission, the city implements measures such as larviciding programs targeting mosquito breeding sites, public awareness campaigns educating residents about mosquito prevention, and monitoring the mosquito population through trapping and testing.
While there are mosquito-borne diseases present in Montréal, such as West Nile virus, there is currently no vaccine specifically for these diseases. It is recommended to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites, such as using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants, and staying indoors during peak mosquito activity times.
