Mosquito Surveillance in Shawnee County

Shawnee County received a grant in 2021 to continue mosquito surveillance activities in our community. We are able to monitor mosquitoes weekly with the help of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Kansas Biological Survey. We use the data collected to be proactive with control activities in Shawnee County to protect the public from diseases such as West Nile Virus.

The graph below provides weekly cumulative totals from all Shawnee County trap locations comparing 2022 through 2025. Mosquito surveillance normally runs from June through October each year.
