May 2026<\/strong>
\nPUBLIC NOTICE<\/strong>
\nPlease be advised that G.D.G. Environment will pursue its biting fly control program in Labrador City\/Wabush
\nand in CFB Five Wing Goose Bay in 2026. The program aims to reduce mosquito and black fly larvae in their
\nhabitats, before they emerge as biting adults. Sites where mosquito larvae breed will be treated from the
\nground and from the air, with Bti, a biological insecticide. The applications will start between the second and
\nlast week of May (depending on weather conditions) and will continue until the end of August. A team of
\ntrained and qualified personnel will perform treatments and monitor operations.
\nBti is a very safe insecticide, it is registered and used in Canada for the control of mosquitoes and black flies.
\nThe contractor G.D.G Environnement proceeds in accordance with the highest safety standards, which
\nprevents any exposure of the population to the product. In the environment, Bti is very safe because it
\nselectively kills mosquito and black fly larvae only and also because it is entirely biodegradable in a matter of
\na few days.<\/p>\n

\nG.D.G. Environnement will carry out all work with the authorization of the Government of Newfoundland and
\nLabrador (permit no 24-033). Only federally approved biological products are allowed to be used under the
\nauthorization of Health Canada.<\/p>\n

\nGDG Environment will use different formulations of Bti :
\nVectoBac 1200L (reg. #21062, produced by Valent Biosciences) or MY-Crobe XT (reg. #34633, produced
\nby Clarke Mosquito Control Products) or Aquabac XT (reg. # 26860, produced by Clarke Mosquito Control
\nProducts) are a water-based formulation that will be used for ground operations.
\nVectoBac 200G (reg. #18158, produced by Valent Biosciences) or My-Crobe 200G (reg. #34628,
\nproduced by Clarke Mosquito Control Products) or Aquabac 200G (reg. # 26863, produced by Clarke
\nMosquito Control Products) are a granular formulation, consisting of crushed corn coated with Bti will be
\nused for aerial operations.<\/p>\n

Other details concerning this program can be obtained by contacting GDG Environment:
\ninfo.mosquito@gdg.ca or toll free at 1-877-227-0552 or the Pesticides Control Section : 1-709-729
