Mosquito Forecast

For August 24th - 30th, 2026

 

Last week the third highest number of mosquitoes were collected from our surveillance traps for the entire year. However, this in itself is very misleading, as 52 % of these mosquitoes were captured from just one trap located north of the Savannah River in South Carolina. This could signal another wave of salt marsh mosquitoes are about to invade the county from the north, so we will be monitoring this area closely and treat areas as needed. West Nile virus is also still being detected from local mosquito samples, and currently we stand at 18 positive samples collected from nine different sites within the county. 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.
