Mosquito Forecast
For September 8th - 14th, 2025
Mosquito numbers rose over the last week. This rise was attributed to an increase in nuisance mosquitoes, and much of this increase (68%) is linked to a single mosquito species, the black salt marsh mosquito, Aedes taeniorhynchus. Upon closer examination, 53% of these specimens were collected from one trap site located along the Savannah River. Vector mosquito numbers dropped actually for the second week in a row, although one of our sentinel chickens did show antibodies for an as of yet undetermined alphavirus. Although this group of viruses does not include West Nile virus, eastern equine encephalitis virus is a member of this genus. With this in mind, residents should protect themselves from mosquito bites with a proven repellent registered by the EPA if participating in outdoor activities where mosquitoes are present.
