| Mosquito Activity (Scale from 0 to 5) |
- This is the only issue of the Buzz for the month of October
unless conditions dramatically change over the next few weeks. The
dry conditions are greatly limiting the amount of mosquito activity
in our area at this time. Overall mosquito activity remains a 2, the
mosquito activity will not fall below a 2 until day time
temperatures are consistently below 55 degrees (usually mid
December).
|
| Surveillance |
- Most areas recorded less than 4 tenths of an inch of rain for
the entire month of September.
- 5 CDC style traps were set this week, with a total of 16
mosquitoes caught for an average of 3 per trap. CDC trapping will be
discontinued until in rains.
- 9 Omni-Directional Fay-Prince (OFP) were set this week, with a
total of 177 tiger mosquitoes for an average of 20 per trap. Tiger
mosquitoes were up slightly this week. Tiger mosquitoes will
continue to be a moderate problem for the next few weeks.

| Service Requests |
