At Bite Back Tick and Mosquito Control, we provide a safe, all-natural,
environmentally friendly mosquito control service using plant-based essential oils. Here’s what impacts the mosquito
population in New Jersey and what you can do to stay protected.

1. Temperature: The Biggest Driver of Mosquito Activity

Mosquitoes are cold-blooded and require warm temperatures to survive. They become active when temperatures rise above
50°F and thrive in the warm summer months. As temperatures climb, mosquito breeding and feeding increase,
causing rapid population spikes.

When temperatures fall below freezing, mosquito activity drops dramatically. Some species survive winter by:

• Hibernating in sheltered areas as adults
• Laying eggs in water that will freeze and later thaw
• Overwintering as larvae or pupae

Mosquito season in New Jersey typically ends once temperatures remain below freezing—making temperature a major factor in
planning your mosquito control program.

2. Geographic Location: Why Some Areas Have More Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are far more prevalent in warmer southern states, where temperatures stay high for much longer. While New Jersey
experiences cooler winters, our humid summers and extended warm-weather periods still create ideal mosquito conditions.

Because the Northeast is warming earlier each spring, New Jersey homeowners are seeing mosquito season start sooner and last
longer than in decades past. Staying proactive with prevention is key.

3. Rainfall & Standing Water: Where Mosquitoes Breed

Rainfall is one of the strongest predictors of mosquito population growth. Female mosquitoes lay their eggs in
standing water—and it only takes about an inch of water for eggs to develop into larvae.

Common breeding spots include:

• Puddles and ditches
• Clogged gutters
• Flowerpots and plant saucers
• Old toys or containers
• Bird baths and kiddie pools
• Tire swings and tarps
• Unmaintained swimming pools

Homes in areas with frequent rainfall—or properties with poor drainage—tend to experience heavy mosquito activity.
Eliminating standing water is one of the most effective ways to break the breeding cycle.
