Mosquito Forecast
For May 18 - 24, 2026
Although nuisance mosquitoes, particularly salt marsh varieties, have made their presence known in several locations, approximately 91% of these mosquitoes were captured at only seven sites, all situated along the Savannah River. Spring tides from earlier this month are likely responsible for this current increase. Treatments conducted by our ULV trucks prior to daybreak have been and will continue to be used to lighten the problems associated in this region. The vector mosquito numbers also climbed in the past week despite the lack of rain. We continue to monitor and test these mosquitoes and have had virus detected in two different samples (one in January and one in April), and have completed our treatment of storm drains throughout Savannah and surrounding areas.
