Mosquito Forecast
For January 2025
The 2024 mosquito season was one of the most active seasons not only for the amount of West Nile virus detected in local mosquitoes, but for the shear number of mosquitoes caught throughout the year. The number of West Nile positive mosquito samples (218) was the most ever detected in the county, and the average monthly total was the highest since 2012. The recent cool temperatures will temper mosquito activity, but warm spells will undoubtedly bring these pesky creatures out from their hiding places and remind us of their unpleasantness. Please report any mosquito problem in your area, either directly or on-line through our website as operations for nuisance mosquitoes in affected areas will be resumed when weather conditions improve. If you wish to receive notifications of upcoming aerial adulticide missions in your region of the county, please register on the Smart911 system at: https://www.smart911.com/smart911/ref/reg.action?pa=chathamcounty.
