Other areas of Manitoba, yes....lots of mosquitos. But here in Shilo, the armpit of Canada, we do not have mosquitos, since there is no water for them to hatch in. The nearest water is many miles away. We are almost prairie desert. I have trees in my yard that were planted before we bought this place 20 years ago. Some are still only a foot tall, some actually made it to 5 feet. This is not what many would consider arable land, other than potatoes. It is a hard life here for both trees and mosquitos.
