Identifying Mosquitoes – Key Characteristics
Mosquitoes are small, flying insects known for their buzzing sound and itchy bites. While species differ, they share several common traits:
- Size & Color: Typically 1/8 to 1/2 inch long, slender-bodied, and gray or brown in color.
- Shape: Long legs, narrow wings, and a distinctive proboscis used for feeding.
- Behavior: Most active at dawn and dusk, drawn to body heat, carbon dioxide, and standing water.
- Breeding Sites: Stagnant water sources such as birdbaths, puddles, gutters, and flower pots.
- Eggs: Laid on or near water surfaces, often in clusters or “rafts.”
Mosquitoes can transmit diseases like West Nile virus, dengue, and Zika, and their bites can cause itching, swelling, and irritation.
What Are the Signs of a Mosquito Infestation?
Early detection can help you stop mosquitoes before they take over your yard, home, or business.
Watch out for these common signs of a mosquito problem:
- Bites: Frequent, itchy red bumps—especially after spending time outdoors.
- Buzzing: Persistent high-pitched buzzing sounds, often near ears or in shaded areas.
- Standing Water: Puddles, clogged gutters, birdbaths, or containers holding stagnant water.
- Larvae: Tiny wriggling “wigglers” visible in water sources.
- Resting Mosquitoes: Adults hiding on walls, under furniture, or in shaded corners during the day.
If you notice these signs, contact Action Termite & Pest Control to help eliminate mosquitoes and prevent them from coming back!
Mosquitoes – What Are the Dangers?
Mosquitoes are more than just an outdoor annoyance. They can pose serious health risks. Their bites can cause itching, swelling, and allergic reactions, and some species can transmit dangerous viruses like West Nile, Zika, and dengue.
Because they breed quickly in small amounts of standing water, even a few mosquitoes can multiply fast, turning a minor irritation into a full-blown infestation before you know it!

When is the Best Time to Treat Mosquitoes?
The best time to treat mosquitoes depends on both season and time of day:
- Season: Mosquito control is most effective in spring and early summer, before populations explode. Treating during this period can prevent a large infestation later in the season.
- Time of Day: Mosquitoes are generally most active at dawn and dusk, so applying treatments in the early morning or late evening targets adults when they are feeding and resting.
- Standing Water: Larvicide treatments should be applied whenever stagnant water is present, since this is where mosquitoes breed.
Regular preventive treatments throughout the peak mosquito season can drastically reduce bites and the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses.
DIY vs. Professional Mosquito Control Services
Store-bought sprays, repellents, or traps may reduce a few mosquitoes temporarily but rarely stop them from breeding in hidden or hard-to-reach areas.
Pros of Professional Treatment:
- Comprehensive control of both adult mosquitoes and larvae.
- Safe, targeted products and application techniques.
- Long-term prevention, monitoring, and elimination of breeding sites.
Cons of DIY Methods:
- Limited effectiveness—only addresses visible mosquitoes, not hidden larvae.
- Risk of chemical misuse or exposure.
- Frequent recurrence if breeding areas aren’t properly treated.
For lasting relief and protection from bites and mosquito-borne diseases, trust the Action Termite & Pest Control experts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mosquito activity in New Jersey typically begins in late April or early spring when temperatures climb above about 50 °F. It usually continues through the warmer months and often into the fall until consistent frost or cold temperatures reduce activity.
In New Jersey, species such as Culex pipiens lay eggs in standing water (tires, birdbaths, gutters, etc.). These mosquitoes can bite infected birds and then transmit the virus to humans. County‑level surveillance collects adult samples and tests them in pools to track when disease risk is rising.
A key step is eliminating standing water on your property: empty containers, clean birdbaths weekly, keep gutters clear, and cover or drain unused pools. Also, trimming back dense shrubs and reducing shaded, damp hiding spots helps limit where mosquitoes rest during the day.
Yes, most New Jersey agencies use an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach. That includes larvicides (for water habitats) and adulticides only when needed, often as a last resort. The chemicals used are certified by the Environmental Protection Agency and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP).
