Reducing Mosquitoes Around Your Yard

Mosquitoes breed in standing water; small yard changes can meaningfully reduce their numbers in summer.

Signs to look for

• Bites and activity around dawn and dusk
• Standing water in gutters, planters, toys, and tarps
• Resting spots in dense, shaded vegetation

Why it happens

Mosquitoes lay eggs in even small amounts of standing water and rest in cool, shaded areas during the day.

Prevention tips

• Empty or refresh standing water weekly
• Clean gutters and turn over containers that collect rain
• Trim dense vegetation and keep grass maintained
• Repair window and door screens

When to call a professional

If your yard stays buggy despite removing standing water, a seasonal yard service may help (offered when licensed and available). Keera Pest Control serves Woodbridge Township and nearby Central New Jersey communities.
