Understanding Mosquitoes in New Jersey

Mosquitoes are fly-like pests that live outside, thriving in warm, wet weather conditions, so most describe mosquitoes as summertime pests in and around the New Jersey Area. Mosquitoes have two scale-covered wings, a narrow oval-shaped body, antennae, and have long, thin legs that hang down when flying.

Female mosquitoes require blood meals to produce viable eggs and complete the reproductive cycle. Mosquitoes feed on the blood of a person or animal by delivering painful, itchy bites using their specialized mouthpart, called a proboscis.

The Health Risks of Mosquito Bites

Mosquitoes are dangerous pests. Those living in the U.S. spread diseases like the West Nile virus, Eastern equine encephalitis virus, and St. Louis encephalitis virus, which can make people quite ill. Our pets are also at risk when mosquitoes are present. Mosquitoes are carriers of parasitic heartworms, a condition that is fatal without medical intervention.

Why Your New Jersey Property Attracts Mosquitoes

Female mosquitoes lay eggs on top of areas of standing water. Some mosquitoes fly away after hatching and developing into adults, but most stay near where they hatched. The more breeding sites located on or near your property, the more mosquitoes will be a problem.

Mosquitoes lay eggs on top of standing water collected in human-made or natural containers. Buckets, tires, tree stumps, woodpiles, clogged gutters, trash cans, flowerpots, and wading pools act as breeding sites for mosquitoes.

Common Mosquito Habitats in New Jersey

Mosquitoes are most active when the temperatures are above 80 degrees, which is why they are so problematic during the summer. Dusk and dawn are when mosquitoes are most active, preferring the cooler temperatures both provide.

During the heat of the day, mosquitoes rest in tall grass, dense vegetation, and piles of debris. People may contact mosquitoes in almost any outdoor environment, including parks, wooded areas, fields, near rivers, and the city.
