Mosquito Forecast
For April 20 - 26, 2026
The overall number of mosquitoes increased during the last week, although much of the increase was primarily built around two species of Culex mosquitoes. Combined these two species made up 72.6 % of the total mosquito catch last week. The two species are the well known southern house mosquito (Culex quinquefasciatus), and the lesser known “unbanded” salt marsh mosquito (Culex salinarius). The larvae of the former variety prefers stagnant water environments, while the latter species is fond to somewhat brackish water conditions. The continued lack of rain is keeping problems associated with most our nuisance species down to a minimum.
