New Jersey County Mosquito Control Resources
New Jersey has organized mosquito control in all 21 counties. Those public programs handle community-level surveillance and control; they are different from a private company treating an individual residential yard.
If you are seeing a regional mosquito problem, unusual public-area pressure, roadside/wetland activity or want county surveillance information, your county program is an excellent starting point.
All 21 counties
NJDEP lists county mosquito-control contacts for: Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Essex, Gloucester, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic, Salem, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren.
When to call the county
Public programs are appropriate for community-level mosquito issues, surveillance questions and county control activities. Their exact services and response process vary by county.
When a private yard service is different
A residential service focuses on an individual property: shaded resting zones, landscaping, perimeter habitat, high-use spaces and property-specific pressure.
Use both kinds of resources intelligently
A difficult mosquito season can involve both regional pressure and property-level habitat. County programs and homeowner yard management solve different parts of the problem.
Use the NJDEP contact list as the source of truth.
County staffing, phone numbers and program details can change. Jersey Mosquito links to NJDEP rather than copying a directory that can go stale.
What homeowners usually ask next
Does every New Jersey county have mosquito control?
NJDEP states that a mosquito control commission or department can be found in each of New Jersey’s 21 counties.
Will county mosquito control treat my private backyard?
Services vary. Contact your county program directly for what it provides. Private residential service is a separate type of service.
Your yard can need more than a checklist.
