High-Risk Environments

Below you’ll find a list of the typical environments that foster breeding for mosquitoes in in the Southern NJ area.

  • Wetlands and Marshes

    Wetlands, Floodplains, and Marshes

    Examples: Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, Cape May Wetlands, Maurice River Bluffs Preserve

    **Features:** These coastal and inland wetlands feature standing water, dense reeds, and tall grasses—ideal breeding sites for *Aedes sollicitans* and *Anopheles* mosquitoes.

    **Why It Matters:** These habitats produce large mosquito populations, especially after heavy rains or tidal flooding. Saltmarsh species like *Aedes sollicitans* are aggressive biters and can travel miles in search of hosts, making them a major nuisance even far from the water’s edge.

  • Clogged storm drain

    Urban Areas with Standing Water

    Features: Clogged storm drains, neglected pools, rain-filled containers, and old tires behind homes or businesses.

    **Why It Matters:** These environments are hotspots for *Culex pipiens*, a primary vector of West Nile virus in New Jersey. Older neighborhoods with aging infrastructure or poor drainage are particularly at risk during the humid summer months.

  • Forrest during fall

    Wooded Residential Areas and Parks

    Examples: Suburban towns like Medford, Voorhees, and Haddonfield, as well as parks like Wharton State Forest and Rancocas State Park

    **Features:** Shaded yards, tree holes, and backyard clutter create ideal micro-breeding grounds for mosquitoes—especially in areas with little sun and trapped moisture.

    **Why It Matters:** Species like *Aedes triseriatus*, known to transmit La Crosse encephalitis, thrive in these environments. These mosquitoes bite during the day, posing a risk to children and pets who spend time outdoors.

    Common Mosquitoes Found in the Southern New Jersey Region

    • Aedes sollicitans

      Aedes sollicitans (Eastern Saltmarsh Mosquito)

      Identification: Medium-sized mosquito with dark scales and distinctive white banding on the legs.

      Habitat: Found along coastal marshes, salt flats, and brackish wetlands—especially near the Jersey Shore.

      Behavior: Very aggressive biter, active during dawn and dusk. Can travel up to 20 miles inland in search of hosts.

      Health Risks: While not a major disease vector, its abundance and range make it a significant nuisance and contributor to regional biting pressure.

    • Culex pipiens (Northern House Mosquito)

      Culex pipiens (Northern House Mosquito)

      Identification: Small brown mosquito with a rounded abdomen and pale banding on its legs.

      Habitat: Prefers polluted, stagnant water such as storm drains, old containers, and rain barrels—especially in urban and suburban areas.

      Behavior: Nighttime biter; often enters homes and bites while people sleep.

      Health Risks: Primary vector for West Nile virus in New Jersey. Also known to carry St. Louis encephalitis and other arboviruses.

    • Aedes triseriatus (Eastern Tree Hole Mosquito)

      Aedes triseriatus (Eastern Tree Hole Mosquito)

      Identification: Dark mosquito with a silver-scaled thorax and narrow body.

      Habitat: Breeds in natural containers like tree holes and artificial ones like tires and buckets in shaded woodlands and backyards.

      Behavior: Active during the day; females are aggressive and target mammals, including humans.

      Health Risks: Primary vector of La Crosse encephalitis, which can be especially dangerous for children.

    • Anopheles quadrimaculatus (Common Malaria Mosquito)

      Anopheles quadrimaculatus (Common Malaria Mosquito)

      Identification: Brown mosquito with four dark spots on each wing and a distinctive resting posture (body angled away from surface).

      Habitat: Clean, slow-moving freshwater sources like ponds, lakes, and forested wetlands.

      Behavior: Bites at dusk and dawn; rests indoors or in cool, damp areas.

      Health Risks: Historically a malaria vector, though not a current threat in New Jersey. Still contributes to nuisance biting in rural and semi-rural areas.

    Seasonality of Mosquitoes in Southern New Jersey

    • Twin Cities Spring Photo

      Spring (April – May)

      Key Activity: Mosquito season begins as temperatures consistently stay above 50°F and spring rains arrive.

      **Breeding:** Seasonal rains and warmer temps create standing water in marshes, ditches, and backyard containers. Tree hole breeders like *Aedes triseriatus* emerge early.

      **Common Species Active:**

      *Aedes triseriatus* – Active in wooded areas and backyards.

      *Culex pipiens* – Begins breeding in storm drains and standing water.

      **Behavior:** Activity steadily increases, especially after rainfall. Biting tends to peak at dawn and dusk.

    • NJ lifestyle photo

      Summer (June – August)

      Key Activity: This is peak mosquito season in Southern NJ—hot days, humid nights, and frequent rainstorms create ideal conditions.

      **Breeding:** Saltmarshes, flooded lowlands, clogged gutters, and urban containers all support rapid breeding. Mosquito populations explode during this time.

      **Common Species Active:**

      *Aedes sollicitans* – Extremely active in coastal areas; flies far inland in search of hosts.

      *Culex pipiens* – Widespread in both city and suburban areas; bites mostly at night.

      **Behavior:** Biting pressure is highest. Expect mosquitoes to be active at all times—especially mornings, evenings, and humid overcast days.

    • Twin Cities Summer Photo

      Fall (September – October)

      Key Activity: Mosquito populations begin to decline as temperatures cool, but activity can persist into October with mild weather.

      **Breeding:** Fall rains may continue to provide standing water, especially in low-lying and wooded areas.

      **Common Species Active:**

      *Aedes triseriatus* – Prepares for overwintering by laying drought-resistant eggs.

      *Culex pipiens* – Continues breeding if temps stay above 50°F.

      **Behavior:** Reduced activity overall, but pockets of high mosquito presence remain near standing water and damp woods.

    • Twin Cities Summer Photo

      Winter (November – March)

      Key Activity: Mosquito activity goes dormant in Southern NJ due to cold temperatures.

      **Eggs:** Hardy *Aedes* eggs remain dormant in dry containers or tree holes, waiting to hatch in the spring.

      **Adults:** *Culex* mosquitoes may survive winter in sheltered spaces like basements or crawlspaces, but biting is extremely rare during this time.

      **Behavior:** No noticeable mosquito activity until temperatures begin to rise in spring.
