Mosquito Forecast
For August 3rd - 9th, 2026
Last week, West Nile virus was detected at five locations in the county. These are the first new virus isolations we have seen since early April. We have now recorded the virus from seven locations in 2026. Present weather forecast call for rainfall throughout much of the week, which is likely to rekindle mosquito populations, particularly tiger mosquito populations. This species does not require a great deal of water to complete its life cycle, and has been known to use things as small as bottle caps for rearing its larvae. Please remember to dump any buckets or other articles holding water to prevent this mosquito from becoming a problem around your residence. 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.
