Waikato against mozzies! 🦟 Is the Bay of Plenty ready to join the fight?

Researchers from Victoria University are on the hunt for Waikato properties to set traps as part of a project aimed at keeping the country safe from mosquito-borne diseases coming from across the ditch.

Backed by the Ministry for Primary Industries, the project is targeting high-risk areas—including Northland, Auckland, Bay of Plenty, and Hawke’s Bay—to keep a close eye on mosquito activity.

What do you think—are we ready to take on the mozzies, or is it a lost cause?

Want all the details? The Waikato Times has you covered.
