Midge treatment

In recent weeks, rainfall and warmer temperatures have provided optimal conditions for midge breeding within Maylands Lakes.

This week, the City treated Lake Brearley with a higher dosage of larvicide, as per our Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority off-label permit.

It is expected this will assist in addressing a recent increase in midge numbers, however there may be some fluctuation over the coming weeks as a result of further rainfall.

The City continues to undertake treatments and raking on a 14-day cycle.
