With his wife Christina, Rune has spent decades in the house by the river near Avesta.
– Last year, the summer was over. If it gets worse, we simply have to make sure not to be here during the mosquito season, he says.

Only one mosquito control at the lower Dalälven this year – then the money runs out
Nästgård’s resident Ove Matsson describes last summer as “deplorable”.
– You panicked.
Lack of control is worrying
That the money for mosquito control will not currently be enough for more than one control worries Ove Matsson, who would like to see “better foresight”.
Neighbors Rune and Christina do not escape being stung but claim to be “immune” after so many years.
– It is the buzzing in the ears when you are going to sleep that is most unpleasant, says Rune.
– But I heard one yesterday when we were sleeping because the window was open, so it’s probably time to put in the mosquito nets.
