Mosquito Forecast: Low Activity Across Rowan County

Cooler overnight temperatures and a stretch of dry weather have finally brought mosquito activity to very low levels across Rowan County. With nighttime lows in the upper 30s to low 40s and daytime highs in the 60s, most mosquito species have entered dormancy or are no longer active.

Current Conditions

• Expect comfortable outdoor conditions this week with very few mosquitoes.

• The limited activity that remains will be confined to small areas of standing water in shaded or unmaintained locations.

• Continued cool nights and low humidity will keep breeding conditions suppressed through mid-November.

Prevention Tips
Even though mosquito activity is minimal, it’s still a good idea to eliminate any sources of standing water around your home. Check gutters, planters, and yard items that can collect rainwater to help prevent any late-season hatches.

Looking Ahead
Mosquito numbers are expected to remain low for the rest of the season unless an unseasonably warm and wet period develops. For now, outdoor activities are comfortable and largely mosquito-free — a welcome sign of the changing seasons across Rowan County.
