Mosquito Forecast
For November, 2023
As October comes to a close and the cooler November weather settles in on our region, our resident adult mosquitoes begin to seek out sheltered areas where they remain dormant until warm weather returns. Some species actually overwinter as larvae, and still others have laid weather-durable eggs that await ideal conditions to return to our region. Regardless, mosquito season does not necessarily end because of the change of months on the calendar, but merely takes a break. Traps set throughout the county are still catching mosquitoes, and local mosquitoes are still being tested for viruses that can be transmitted to us. So keep in mind that should any mosquito problem come up in your area during what many might consider the “off season,” Mosquito Control staff are eager to help. If you would like to receive notifications of aerial adult mosquito missions in your area during the 2023 season, register on the county’s Smart911 system at: https://www.smart911.com/smart911/ref/reg.action?pa=chathamcounty.
