Mosquito Forecast

For May 4 - 10, 2026

 

Field crews will be inspecting known larval habitat after weekend rains finally brought some relief to the drought conditions we’ve been experiencing throughout southern Georgia. It is likely that much of the water from these rain storms was quickly absorbed and few opportunities will exist for any large scale hatch-off of nuisance mosquitoes. On the other hand, vector species of mosquitoes have seemed to prosper during the dry conditions, and with this in mind, field staff will begin our annual catch basin treatments next week (about two weeks earlier than normal). 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.
