Well folks, get ready for a buzzing week across the Sunflower State! For the week of June 29, 2026, we’re issuing a ๐ด High risk for bug bites throughout Kansas, so it’s time to be extra vigilant as summer truly settles in and brings out all sorts of active insects. Expect widespread mosquito activity, along with ticks and biting flies making their presence known in nearly every corner of the state.
Up in Northwest Kansas, a mix of warm temperatures and recent scattered showers means mosquitoes are thriving, especially near standing water, while ticks are also quite active in grassy areas.
Moving to Northeast Kansas, humid conditions following some afternoon pop-up storms will create ideal breeding grounds for an increase in biting gnats and an abundance of mosquitoes, so prepare accordingly for outdoor activities.
Down in Southwest Kansas, continued hot and dry weather might seem to deter some bugs, but those resilient horseflies and biting midges are still out in force, particularly around livestock and any lingering damp spots.
Finally, Southeast Kansas is looking at a classic humid summer week, which means a very high likelihood of encounters with mosquitoes, chiggers, and deer ticks, especially if you’re venturing into wooded or marshy areas. Remember, if you do get an unwelcome bite, Just Bite Me natural bug bite relief is readily available at retailers across Kansas.
