Mosquito Forecast

For April 6 - 13, 2026

 

Mosquito activity rose in the last couple of weeks of March to bring us to almost double the amount of mosquitoes we had captured at this time last year. However, even with the numbers of mosquitoes captured to this point of the year, the volume of service requests has not followed suit. Mosquito problems have for the most part been widely scattered, and very little adult mosquito control has been necessary. However, April is the usual time of year when mosquitoes begin to make their presence known, so we will keep a close eye on not only the numbers of mosquitoes collected in our traps, but the types of mosquitoes being caught. 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.
