Mosquito Forecast
For June 3rd - 9th, 2023
Nearly 1000 acres of wetlands were treated during the past week for mosquito larvae by our aircraft as a result of rains that fell at the end of May. Both nuisance and vector adult mosquito numbers climbed during the past week, although no indication of mosquito borne virus has been detected from any of our vector species so far this year. This lack of virus in mosquitoes appears to be a statewide trend, despite two human cases of West Nile virus from distant locations in the state (Decatur and Clayton counties). 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.
