Mosquito Forecast – Rowan County

Cooler nights and drier air are keeping mosquito activity low to minimal this week. A few may still appear around shaded areas or places with standing water, especially after brief warm-ups or light rainfall.

Tips:
• Remove standing water and clean out gutters, planters, and birdbaths.
• Mosquitoes remain most active around dusk and dawn, so repellent is still recommended for outdoor plans.
• Long sleeves and pants help prevent bites during evening events.

Trend Outlook:
No major mosquito increase is expected as fall continues. With nighttime temperatures dropping into the 40s, activity will steadily decrease through the week.
