Highlands

Why choose us

Local Pest Challenges

Why Highlands Has Severe Mosquito Activity:

• Surrounded by water – Sandy Hook Bay and Shrewsbury River on three sides provide unlimited breeding habitat
• Tidal marsh dominance – Extensive saltmarsh systems produce massive mosquito populations
• Saltmarsh mosquito breeding – These extremely aggressive species breed in tidal marshes and fly miles inland
• Constant bay humidity – Maritime moisture creates ideal mosquito conditions year-round
• Limited air circulation – Hills and valleys trap mosquitoes, reducing natural wind dispersal
• Marina and waterfront areas – Concentrated human activity attracts mosquitoes to docks and waterfront spaces
• Multiple elevation zones – Hillside topography creates varied microclimates all harboring mosquitoes
• Waterfront property challenges – Direct bay exposure means constant mosquito arrival from marsh breeding areas
• Limited municipal control – Tidal marshes cannot be effectively treated, leaving property protection to individual owners
• Maritime culture – Outdoor dock, patio, and boat activities concentrate people where mosquitoes feed

Common Highlands Pest Problems We Treat:

• Saltmarsh Mosquitoes – The dominant and most aggressive species, breeding in tidal marshes and biting all day long
• Asian Tiger Mosquitoes – Container-breeding species in residential areas, aggressive daytime biters
• Freshwater Mosquitoes – Various species breeding in standing water and drainage areas
• Northern House Mosquitoes – Active at dusk and dawn, carriers of West Nile Virus
• Deer Ticks – Present in vegetated hillside areas and residential yards
• Dog Ticks – Found in grassy areas throughout Highlands

Highlands faces the most intense saltmarsh mosquito pressure in Monmouth County, making professional treatment essential for outdoor enjoyment.
