Mosquito Forecast
For October 19th - 25th, 2024
Cooler temperatures during the past week has definitely provided us with some relief from the pesky nuisance mosquitoes that have been a problem in our area since the three tropical disturbances (Debby, Helene, and Milton) dumped excessive rain or pushed tides up from strong winds when they passed through the region. We will closely monitor the numbers of these mosquitoes (particularly the salt marsh mosquitoes) as we move through the week and treat areas as needed. Disease vector populations also took a tumble as well, but we remind residents to continue to protect themselves from mosquito bites, as we have detected more West Nile virus in samples of local mosquitoes than ever before. Residents should continue to protect themselves from mosquito bites, and report any mosquito problems directly to us or on-line through our website. Those residents interested in knowing when aerial missions for controlling adult mosquitoes in their area will take place can register on the Smart911 system, please vitsit: https://www.smart911.com/smart911/ref/reg.action?pa=chathamcounty.

Keep all containers around your home free from standing water!
