Poll: Bay of Plenty, are we ready to take on the mozzies, or is it a lost cause?
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?
