PUBLIC MOSQUITO CONTROL

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.

THE QUICK ANSWER

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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

DIRECTORY

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.

COMMON QUESTIONS

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.
