Mosquito counts in Saskatchewan are way up this year, with numbers up year over year and beating the 10-year average. In Saskatoon traps, there was an average of 168 last week. That’s compared to five mosquitoes per trap last year at this time. Regina has 12 traps throughout the city with an average of 200 last week. Last year, it was an average of 10. Just outside of Regina in rural areas, there were over 400 compared to just eight in 2025.
