According to Canada's leading mosquito expert, University of Guelph entomologist Dr. Gord Surgeoner, everything from our landscaping preferences to our toiletry selections can have an impact on the number of summer vampires out for a late night snack. Well known for his research on biting insects and repellents, the bug doctor shares the following insights on the most common mistakes made by homeowners and cottagers, all of which can contribute to above aver- agemosquito populations: 1.
