Mosquito Solutions for Home & Business Owners
Mosquitos are some of the most irritating summer pests we encounter here in New Jersey. Known for biting and consuming the blood of people and animals, these fly-like pests have long legs, wings, and a proboscis used for feeding. While both males and females use their proboscis to feed on plant nectar, only females feed on blood in order to get the necessary protein for successful egg production.
Though typically not found infesting the inside of your home, mosquitos are a major problem around outdoor areas around your property, especially areas with standing water. The most common threat posed by mosquitos is their bite, which not only leaves you covered in itchy red bumps but can also make you sick. In fact, mosquito bites are responsible for spreading many diseases around the world to humans and pets alike.

Mosquito Prevention Tips
Mosquitoes are tough pests to control. They are prolific breeders that can develop from egg to adult in a week or less in ideal weather conditions. Since they lay their eggs in standing water, properties near lakes, ponds, drainage ditches, wooded areas, and marshes tend to see large numbers of mosquitoes. Here are some tips for preventing mosquitos from invading your property:
- Eliminate as much standing water from your property as possible.
- Repair any low-lying areas in driveways and your yard.
- Store containers that collect water upside down when not in use.
- Keep gutters clear of debris to prevent water from pooling in them.
- Fix drippy outdoor faucets and hoses.
- Keep the grass on your property cut short.
- Limit the amount of flowering vegetation planted on your property – especially near your home.
