Mosquito Forecast

For Rowan County | November 1, 2025

Overview

Cooler weather and shorter days are finally bringing an end to mosquito season across Rowan County. Activity has dropped sharply over the past week, and only a few isolated areas with standing water are still seeing occasional mosquitoes during the warmer afternoon hours.

Current Conditions

Temperatures in the 60s during the day and 30s to low 40s at night are keeping mosquito activity very low. With the lack of recent rainfall, there are few breeding grounds left. Any lingering activity will be limited to shaded, damp areas such as wooded edges, water-filled containers, or clogged gutters.

Week Ahead

The pattern stays dry and mild through next week, which should keep mosquito levels minimal to near zero. As soil temperatures continue to cool through mid-November, remaining mosquito larvae will enter dormancy or die off.

Tips for Homeowners

• Empty and clean birdbaths, planters, and buckets that collect water.

• Clear leaves from gutters to prevent moisture buildup.

• Store outdoor items that can hold rainwater ahead of the next system.
  These simple steps will help prevent any brief reemergence of mosquitoes if we see a warm spell later in the month.

Summary

Mosquito season is effectively winding down across Rowan County. With cool, dry conditions in place, outdoor activities will remain comfortable and nearly pest-free through the week ahead.
