Mosquitoes Around New Jersey Homes and Businesses
|
Mosquitoes can make a yard, patio or outdoor work area difficult to use. They may develop on one property and arrive from another, so realistic expectations matter when discussing control.
A useful approach combines attention to the property with personal bite prevention. Start by noting where and when activity is worst. For current information on mosquito-borne disease, use the New Jersey Department of Health and your county mosquito-control program. |

Start with standing water
Mosquitoes need water for their immature stages. Buckets, plant saucers, clogged gutters and unused equipment are common places to check for water that collects and remains. Empty or maintain those sources as appropriate, and repair damaged window and door screens. Reducing nearby breeding opportunities can help, but mosquitoes can continue moving in from surrounding areas. A property treatment cannot guarantee that mosquitoes will never return. |

Understand the proposed service
A mosquito service should explain the areas being treated, the purpose of treatment and the precautions for people, pets and other organisms. Discuss how the outdoor space is used and what preparation or access is needed. Follow label directions for any repellent or pesticide you use. The aim is to reduce and manage activity, with practical steps between visits, rather than promise a permanently mosquito-free yard. |
The way you use the property matters
For a home, note shaded areas, water sources and the places where people or pets spend time. For a restaurant patio, workplace or managed property, tell us when the space is occupied and where mosquito activity interferes with its use. Those details help focus a discussion about the property.
