MILWAUKEE (AP) — Mosquitoes will be out in greater numbers than usual after all the wet weather in Wisconsin, but Illinois may bear the brunt of the insects from the severe storms.
University of Wisconsin-Madison entomologist Phil Pellitteri says that the flood conditions may have washed many of the mosquito eggs downstream and even out of the state.
He says just because we’ve had record rain doesn’t mean we’ll have record numbers of mosquitoes.
