Mosquito Forecast
For October 26th - November 1st, 2024
There was a moderate increase in the number of mosquitoes collected during the past week. Much of this increase was attributed to a rise in the number of two vector species of mosquitoes (Culex nigripalpus and Culex quinquefasciatus), both of which have been detected with West Nile virus this year. However, no additional positive West Nile samples from local mosquitoes were uncovered this past week, and temperatures will play a role in mosquito activity over the course of the week. Residents should continue to protect themselves from mosquito bites, and report any mosquito problems directly to us or on-line through our website. Those residents interested in knowing when aerial missions for controlling adult mosquitoes in their area will take place can register on the Smart911 system, please vitsit: https://www.smart911.com/smart911/ref/reg.action?pa=chathamcounty.
