Mosquito Trap Counts

About this dataset

The Norfolk Department of Public Health's Vector Control Division operates year-round to manage mosquito populations and safeguard residents from mosquito-borne diseases, while enhancing overall quality of life in Norfolk. Their efforts include placing mosquito traps at hundreds of locations across the city. Each morning, Vector Control staff retrieve the traps, analyze them in the lab, and record the number and species of mosquitoes, as well as test for any potential viruses or diseases. This dataset provides detailed information on mosquito captures, including date, location, trap type, and species. It covers data from 2015 to the present and is updated weekly.
