Mosquito Forecast
For March, 2026
Now that March has arrived, it won’t be long before the warming temperatures will give rise to a healthy and hungry population of mosquitoes! At the close of February, the persistent cool weather has helped to keep mosquito numbers down, and the majority of the mosquitoes captured to this point belong to the Culex group of mosquitoes. Fortunately, many of these early season mosquitoes prefer feeding on birds, and haven’t caused problems for the residents, visitors, or workers in our area. However, as we move into spring and other species of mosquitoes, more attracted to mammals (including humans) make their appearance, this will change. In the mean time, we at Mosquito Control are preparing for the upcoming mosquito season by calibrating machinery and making sure all equipment is working properly. 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.
