Mosquito Forecast

For November 2nd - 8th 2026

 

The total number of mosquitoes collected last week rose over the previous week. However, as temperatures cool, we expect these numbers to also drop. The lack of rainfall has helped prevent any large hatch-off, and it appears much of the high marsh areas that were flooded from extremely high tides a week ago were also stocked with fish from the flooding. Thus, it appears that mosquito larval populations were held in check. Currently, we have had a total of 41 West Nile virus positive mosquito samples and three sentinel chickens positive for West Nile antibodies.
