This just in – Edmontonians will have less bugs to deal with this summer! HUZZAH!

 

According to city officials, your patio time won’t be plagued with as many nasty parasites as previous years.

“Everything is tremendously delayed so far this year,” says Michael Jenkins, Edmonton’s senior biological technologist told CBC. “We’re not seeing a lot of development of those pest species that normally we would see.”

 

Undoubtedly this will make for some awesome time spent outside enjoying Edmonton’s outdoor music scene. Interstellar Rodeo, Folk Fest, Seven Music Fest and more won’t require as much bug spray and just as much fun!
