Pests & Wildlife
What Can You Do: Do not to transport firewood from other locations into and out of Regina. Firewood
should be bought local and burned local. Do not buy Ash wood or
plant Ash trees supplied from nurseries east of Saskatchewan or the United States. Contact Service
Regina at 306-777-7000 if you believe something is wrong with your Ash tree. Gophers What The City
Does: In the spring, crews put small amounts of Rozol RTU deep down in gopher holes, where it is
consumed by the gopher. The application is limited to publicly owned ‘buffer zones’ or rough turf
areas throughout the city along storm channels, roadways and railway buffers. Rozol RTU is not
applied to the City’s athletic fields and traditional park spaces. During the summer, the City runs
a Gopher Control Program from late May to the end of August in parks and fine-turf athletic fields.
We use a non‑toxic, biodegradable foam applied directly into gopher holes. The foam dissipates
within 24 hours and helps safely manage gopher activity in high‑use public spaces. What You Can Do:
Avoid the treated areas marked by yellow signs, particularly with children and pets. Keep dogs on a
leash or avoid these posted areas entirely. Mosquitoes What The City Does: The City monitors the
number of larvae in bodies of water within city limits. If larvae are found, the city uses
VectoBac™ in ponds, lakes, sloughs, ditches and puddles to kill the mosquito larvae. To monitor and
track adult populations, the City places traps throughout the city and empties them daily to count
and forecast trends for future management strategies. What Can You Do: Did you know that one cup of
water can produce hundreds of mosquitos? Remove standing water in your yard by filling in any
low-lying areas where puddles appear. Check flat roofs and remove objects that collect rainwater
such as bird baths, containers, eavestroughs or even tarps. Cover rain barrels with a tight-fitting
screen. Think about adding goldfish to your pond or ornamental pool. Tent Caterpillars What The
City Does: The City monitors tent caterpillar populations and sprays as required. What Can You Do:
Keep your trees as healthy as possible with regular watering, pruning and fertilizing. If you see
larvae congregating together in the morning- squish’em. Fall Webworm What The City Does: The City
monitors fall webworm populations and sprays or prunes infected branches as required. What Can You
Do: Destroy nests when they are small with a gloved hand or prune out the nest before it spreads.
Rabbits What The City Does: The City is available to provide advice on ways to deter rabbits if you
need more help. ...
