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.

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.
Sewell, New Jersey, located in Gloucester County, is a charming suburban area known for its family-friendly neighborhoods, excellent schools, and thriving local businesses. Residents enjoy easy access to outdoor recreation at popular spots like Washington Lake Park, Tall Pines State Preserve, and Scotland Run Golf Club. However, the same lush greenery and natural features that make Sewell so appealing also create favorable conditions for mosquito and tick activity.
Sewell residents have embraced proactive measures to address these challenges:
Mosquito-borne illnesses like West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) are concerns for Sewell residents, along with the risk of Lyme disease from ticks. These health threats make regular pest management a critical part of maintaining the community’s safety and livability.
Sewell’s climate, with its hot summers and temperate spring and fall seasons, significantly impacts pest activity. Warm, humid weather creates ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes, especially following heavy rains that leave behind standing water. Ticks are most active in spring and fall, taking advantage of the moderate temperatures and lush greenery common in the area. While winters provide some relief, occasional warm spells can extend mosquito activity, highlighting the need for consistent pest management.
