    Identifying Mosquito Hotspots in East Central New Jersey

    • Wetlands and Marshes

      Wetlands, Floodplains, and Tidal Marshes

      Examples: Cheesequake State Park, Raritan River basin, Dismal Swamp Conservation Area

      These areas feature slow-moving or stagnant water, dense vegetation, and moist soil—prime breeding environments for Aedes sollicitans and Anopheles species.

      Why It Matters: After heavy rain or tidal flooding, these locations can generate large mosquito populations that migrate into surrounding neighborhoods, particularly in towns like Sayreville, Old Bridge, and South Amboy.

    • stormdrain

      Urban and Suburban Drainage Areas

      Features: Storm drains, retention basins, clogged gutters, and neglected pools or fountains

      Why It Matters: These environments support Culex pipiens, a night-biting mosquito known to spread West Nile virus. Heavily developed areas like Edison, New Brunswick, and Woodbridge are especially at risk during hot, wet summers.

    • Flooded park

      Residential Backyards and Green Spaces

      Examples: Neighborhoods in East Brunswick, Metuchen, and Piscataway with shaded yards or proximity to wooded parks

      Features: Birdbaths, planters, kiddie pools, toys, and even bottle caps can hold enough water to breed mosquitoes—especially Aedes albopictus, which bite aggressively during the day.

      Why It Matters: These are the most common and overlooked hotspots. Even a small amount of water in a shaded corner can create ongoing mosquito pressure right at home.

    Seasonality of Mosquito Activity in East Central New Jersey

    • Spring Photo

      Spring (April – May)

      Key Activity: As temperatures consistently climb above 50°F and rainfall increases, mosquito season kicks off.

      Breeding: Standing water from spring showers, thawed ground, and early irrigation efforts provide ideal conditions for mosquito eggs to hatch.

      Species Active:

      Culex pipiens starts appearing in storm drains and gutters.

      Aedes albopictus begins to emerge in container-based breeding spots.

      Behavior: Mosquito activity is moderate but growing fast, especially in shaded residential areas and near wetlands.

    • Washington Township NJ Hero Image

      Summer (June – September)

      Key Activity: This is peak mosquito season across Middlesex, Monmouth, and Union counties.

      Breeding: Daily thunderstorms, irrigation, and high humidity support explosive breeding across marshes, backyards, and urban low points.

      Species Active:

      Culex pipiens, Aedes albopictus, and Aedes sollicitans dominate.

      Behavior: Mosquitoes are aggressive and active throughout the day and night. Outdoor activities—especially at dusk—can be difficult without repellent or treatment.

    • Twin Cities Summer Photo

      Fall (October – Early November)

      Key Activity: Mosquito activity slows down but doesn’t disappear completely—especially after warm fall rains.

      Breeding: Fewer breeding grounds as the temperature drops, but mosquitoes can remain active until the first consistent frost.

      Species Active:

      Culex species linger the longest.

      Behavior: Bites are still common during warm afternoons and evenings, particularly near leaf piles, gutters, and unmaintained yards.

    • Southern Winter

      Winter (Mid-November – March)

      Key Activity: Mosquito activity drops off completely as freezing temperatures arrive.

      Eggs: Aedes species lay drought-tolerant eggs in containers and crevices, which will hatch in spring.

      Adults: Culex mosquitoes may overwinter in protected areas like crawlspaces, sheds, or storm drains.

      Behavior: No active mosquito threat, but preventive yard maintenance (like dumping containers and clearing gutters) helps reduce spring emergence.
