Welcome to your weekly Nebraska Bug Bite Forecast for the week of August 12, 2026! This week, we’re anticipating a high overall risk of bug bites across the state. While Nebraska has experienced a slightly drier-than-usual summer, with rainfall totals around 102mm, this trend has actually kept bug pressure a touch below typical levels for early August. However, with recent scattered showers and rising humidity, we’re now seeing a surge in activity, bringing many biting insects out in force.
Up in Northwest Nebraska, scattered thunderstorms and warm, humid conditions will make mosquitoes the primary nuisance, especially around standing water. You can also expect to encounter a fair number of horse flies and deer flies in wooded areas and near livestock.
Moving over to Northeast Nebraska, warm temperatures and increasing humidity, following recent isolated downpours, will create ideal conditions for a significant increase in mosquito activity. Ticks, particularly American dog ticks, will also remain a concern in tall grasses and brush.
Southwest Nebraska will experience hot and humid weather, further boosting mosquito populations, especially during dawn and dusk. Biting gnats might also be more prevalent in this region, particularly near agricultural fields and waterways.
Finally, in Southeast Nebraska, hot, muggy weather and the lingering moisture from recent showers will lead to a very active week for mosquitoes, making outdoor evenings especially uncomfortable. Don’t forget, if you do get bitten, Just Bite Me temporary bug bite relief is readily available at retailers across Nebraska to soothe those itchy spots.

๐ด HighNebraska City
Be prepared for significant mosquito activity, especially near the Missouri River and other water bodies. The past month’s slightly drier weather has not fully deterred the robust insect populations here in Nebraska City. Nebraska City residents should apply repellent generously
๐ด HighOffutt Air Force Base
High mosquito and biting midge activity is expected, thriving in the warm, humid air, particularly around base housing and natural areas. The slightly drier conditions over the past month have only marginally impacted the high bug pressure for Offutt Air Force Base. Personnel on Offutt Air Force Base should take extra precautions
๐ก ModeratePapillion
A moderate presence of mosquitoes and possibly some gnats is anticipated, especially in shaded, damp areas. The recent decrease in rainfall compared to last year means Papillion is seeing a tempered, but still present, insect population. Papillion families enjoying local parks might encounter some bugs
๐ก Moderate๐๏ธ Platte River State Park
Anticipate a moderate presence of mosquitoes and gnats, especially near the river and denser foliage. The slightly drier conditions over the last month have led to a moderate, rather than high, insect population for visitors to Platte River State Park. Platte River State Park hikers should consider repellent for evening strolls
๐ด HighPlattsmouth
Expect a high level of mosquito and biting insect activity, especially near the confluence of the Platte and Missouri Rivers. While the area has seen less rain, Plattsmouth still has ample conditions for high insect numbers. Plattsmouth’s riverfront visitors should use strong repellents
๐ข LowSeward
Insect activity is forecast to be low, with only isolated mosquitoes present, primarily in very damp locations. The region’s slightly drier conditions over the past month have led to reduced insect breeding opportunities in Seward. Seward residents can enjoy outdoor spaces with minimal interruption
๐ข LowSpringfield
You’ll likely encounter minimal insect bother, though a few mosquitoes could be present near the Platte River. The recent drier conditions have resulted in fewer widespread bug populations in Springfield. Springfield’s nature enthusiasts can expect a pleasant outing

๐ก ModerateTecumseh
A moderate level of mosquito and biting insect activity is expected, particularly near the Nemaha River. Despite the regional rainfall being a bit lower than last year, Tecumseh still presents conditions for moderate insect pressure. Tecumseh’s outdoor workers should be aware

Minimal insect activity is predicted, though a few persistent mosquitoes might emerge as the evening cools. The slightly drier conditions over the last month mean Waverly is experiencing a reduced early-season insect presence. Waverly residents will find outdoor enjoyment largely undisturbed

๐ข LowWilber
Insect activity should be relatively low, though a few mosquitoes might be present near the Big Blue River. The reduced rainfall recently has led to fewer breeding grounds, keeping bug numbers down in Wilber. Wilber’s outdoor events should be largely bite-free
๐ก ModerateWymore
Anticipate a moderate number of biting insects, with mosquitoes becoming more active as evening approaches. The recent period of less rainfall than typical has slightly tempered the usual spring bug pressure for Wymore. Wymore residents will find repellent useful
