Know Your Pest
Common Mosquitoes in Hillsborough and Somerset County
Northern House Mosquitoes
Brown and active at dusk and night. They breed in stagnant water like clogged gutters and catch basins, and they are the main carrier of West Nile virus in the state.
Floodwater Mosquitoes
Hatch in huge numbers after heavy rain in low, wet areas and fields. They fly long distances and are behind the sudden swarms that show up after summer storms.
The Risks
Why Mosquitoes Need Professional Treatment
Mosquitoes in New Jersey can carry West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis, and they spread heartworm to dogs. Even without disease, a heavy mosquito population can make your yard unusable all summer.
Citronella candles, bug zappers, and store bought yard sprays do little to reduce mosquitoes where they actually breed and rest. Real control means removing breeding sites and treating the shady plants and structures where adult mosquitoes spend the day, then repeating that through the season.

When Mosquitoes Are Most Active in Hillsborough NJ
Mosquito season in Somerset County runs from May through early October and peaks in July and August, when heat and summer storms leave standing water everywhere. Populations can jump within a week after heavy rain. The best time to start treatments is late April or early May, before the first generation of the season builds up.
How to Reduce Mosquitoes in Your Yard
- Dump standing water weekly from buckets, planters, toys, and tarps.
- Clean gutters and make sure downspouts drain away from the house.
- Change bird bath water every few days.
- Fill low spots in the lawn where water collects.
- Trim dense shrubs and ground cover where mosquitoes rest.
- Repair torn window and door screens.
- Run a fan on the deck or patio. Mosquitoes are weak fliers.

Mosquito Control FAQs
Answers to the questions Hillsborough homeowners and businesses ask us most.
Still have a question?Call (732) 515-7900
How long does a mosquito treatment last?
A barrier treatment usually keeps mosquitoes down for a few weeks. Heavy rain and new breeding sites can shorten that, which is why a season long program works better than a single treatment.
Why are there so many mosquitoes in my yard?
Standing water and shade. Mosquitoes can breed in a bottle cap of water, so clogged gutters, planters, and toys are common sources. Dense shrubs and shady corners give adults a place to rest during the day.
Do mosquitoes carry diseases in New Jersey?
Yes. Mosquitoes in New Jersey can carry West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis. They also spread heartworm to dogs, so keeping mosquitoes down protects your pets too.
Can you treat my yard before a party or event?
Yes. A one time treatment a day or two before an outdoor event can cut down mosquitoes while your guests are outside. For ongoing relief, a season long program works best.
Do you treat for ticks too?
Yes. We offer Tick Control as its own service, and it can be done during the same visits as your mosquito treatments. Ticks live in leaf litter and along wooded edges, so we treat those areas separately.
When should I start mosquito treatments?
Late April or early May, before mosquito populations build. Starting early keeps numbers down all season, but treatments can start any time during the summer.
