The Windsor Essex County Health Unit is about two weeks away from beginning its mosquito larvaciding program.
It comes just as a survey from the United States puts the Detroit area just outside the top 10 mosquito prone cities.
Health Inspector Joel Barrington says the Detroit area and this region often have similar mosquito populations.
He's hoping the harsh winter might make a difference.
"Usually with warm winters and rainy spring it causes more mosquitoes to be breeding and present," says Barrington. "But with the extreme winter conditions this past winter hopefully the population will be smaller."
