Below you’ll find a list of the typical environments that foster breeding for mosquitoes in in the Southern NJ area.
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.
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.
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.
Our unique approach to mosquito control delivers proven, effective results you can rely on. With treatments designed for rapid impact, you’ll notice a significant reduction in mosquito activity shortly after the first application. Our method ensures your outdoor spaces become more enjoyable quickly.
Any mosquitoes living around active areas of the home will be killed on contact with our proprietary formula. We train our technicians to target these areas so we can maximize the effectiveness of the spray.
Female mosquitoes are attracted to the scents we emit. Our proprietary formula is specially created to mask them. Once our treatment has been applied, mosquitoes will avoid your property.
As treatments are performed, a vertical barrier is established which strengthens with each mosquito control service visit. This will shield your yard from pesky mosquitoes.
Experience the most comprehensive mosquito and tick control service designed for the Northeastern U.S. climate, helping you enjoy your outdoor spaces in Southern New Jersey without the nuisance of pests. Here’s what to expect:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
