Why Natural Mosquito Control Matters
For New Jersey homeowners, summer means backyard barbecues, pool parties, and evenings outdoors. Unfortunately, it also means mosquitoes. These buzzing pests aren’t just annoying — they can carry diseases and make your outdoor spaces miserable.
While chemical sprays may offer quick relief, they often come at a cost — harming pollinators, pets, and even your family’s health. That’s why more and more NJ residents are turning to natural mosquito control solutions that are safe, effective, and environmentally responsible.
Step 1: Eliminate Standing Water
Mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water, and it takes only a tablespoon for larvae to thrive. Start by removing or regularly emptying anything that holds water:
- Birdbaths (refresh water every few days)
- Clogged gutters
- Plant saucers and buckets
- Children’s toys, tarps, and garbage can lids
For decorative ponds, consider adding a small fountain or aerator to keep the water moving. Mosquitoes avoid laying eggs in circulating water.
Step 2: Use Natural Repellents and Essential Oils
Mother Nature provides powerful mosquito-fighting plants and oils. Bite Back Tick & Mosquito Control uses EPA 25(b) exempt essential oils — ingredients recognized as safe and effective — in all our sprays. You can also plant or apply these natural repellents at home:
- Lemongrass and Citronella: Classic mosquito deterrents that release a fresh, lemony scent.
- Lavender: Beautiful and effective, lavender repels mosquitoes while attracting pollinators.
- Peppermint and Eucalyptus: Great for pots around patios and decks.
- Rosemary and Basil: Culinary herbs that double as natural mosquito repellents.
Essential oil-based yard sprays can provide lasting protection — without the harsh chemicals used by conventional mosquito control companies.
Step 3: Keep Your Yard Maintained
Overgrown vegetation gives mosquitoes the cool, shady areas they love to rest in during the day. Trim bushes, mow regularly, and remove tall weeds. Pay special attention to shaded corners, under decks, and along fence lines — prime mosquito hiding spots.
Step 4: Treat Your Yard the Natural Way
Even the cleanest yards can attract mosquitoes. That’s where professional natural mosquito yard treatments make all the difference. At Bite Back Tick & Mosquito Control, we use a proprietary blend of essential oils like cedarwood, rosemary, and lemongrass to target mosquitoes at every stage of life — without harming bees, butterflies, or your family.
Our treatments are made from EPA 25(b) exempt ingredients and applied by licensed technicians who understand local mosquito behavior and breeding patterns unique to New Jersey.

Step 5: Add Mosquito-Repelling Landscaping
Strategic planting can make your yard less inviting to mosquitoes. Consider these ideas:
- Plant barriers: Rows of lavender, catnip, or marigolds along property edges.
- Herb gardens: Basil, thyme, and mint naturally deter pests while enhancing meals.
- Citronella torches or planters: Combine with Bite Back’s natural sprays for double protection.
