GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – As temperatures gradually rise and rainfall continues this spring, mosquito season is being ushered in.
But right now, it’s unclear exactly how ‘bad’ the mosquito season will be. Director of the UW-Madison Insect Diagnostic Lab, PJ Liesch, says it’ll depend on a few factors.
“Unfortunately at this point, it’s really hard to tell. What is going to shape the mosquito story this year is the amount of rainfall we get over the coming weeks,” Liesch said. “How much and what species are more abundant than others, that’s really gonna be dictated by the amount of rain and also where that rain or water is.”
