Mosquitos are a common pest that can cause a significant nuisance for homeowners in New Jersey. They are known for their itchy bites and can also spread diseases such as West Nile Virus and Malaria. Understanding the factors that influence the mosquito population is crucial for effective local mosquito control. Our all-natural service, Bite Back Tick and Mosquito Control, offers a safe and environmentally friendly solution to managing the mosquito population on your property.
One of the most important factors that influence the mosquito population is temperature. Mosquitos need temperatures above 50°F to be comfortable and thrive in hot weather. As temperatures rise in the summer, the mosquito population is at its peak. However, when temperatures drop below freezing, the mosquito population declines. This is because mosquitoes are cold-blooded pests and will hibernate in the winter. The adult females of some species will find holes to hide in until the weather gets warmer, while other species will lay their eggs in freezing water and die. The mosquito season doesn’t end until the temperature drops below freezing, making temperature an important factor to consider when managing the mosquito population.
Another important factor that influences the mosquito population is geographical location. Mosquitoes are more prevalent in the South than they are in the North. The temperatures in southern states stay warmer for longer periods of time, allowing mosquitoes to stay alive for extended periods. In addition, the Southern seasons become warmer more quickly, which is conducive to the health and liveliness of mosquitoes. This is why it’s important for homeowners in New Jersey to be aware of the potential for a high mosquito population and take steps to manage it.
Timing of rainfall is also a major influence on the beginning and end of mosquito season. Female mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, such as in puddles, ditches, and other areas that collect water. The eggs need at least an inch of water surrounding them in order for them to produce larvae and develop into full-grown mosquitoes. Therefore, areas that experience heavy rainfall are more likely to have a high mosquito population. This is why it’s important for homeowners in New Jersey to be aware of the weather forecast and take steps to manage standing water on their property, such as by emptying bird baths, cleaning gutters, and ensuring that swimming pools are properly maintained.
