Local Pest Challenges

Why Howell Township Has Severe Mosquito & Tick Activity:

• Massive geographic size – 61+ square miles spanning from dense suburban to deep rural creates every possible pest scenario
• Extensive agricultural land – Working farms with ponds, livestock, irrigation create breeding opportunities
• Preserved open space – Conservation areas harbor deer, wildlife, and provide tick habitat
• Manasquan River watershed – River tributaries and streams provide natural mosquito breeding
• Very high deer population – Rural and suburban interface areas have significant deer carrying ticks
• Large property sizes – Many homes have substantial lots with wooded borders
• Farm ponds everywhere – Nearly every large property or farm has ponds creating mosquito habitat
• Wooded areas throughout – Most properties border or contain wooded areas harboring both pests
• Wildlife abundance – Rural character means abundant raccoons, opossums, foxes carrying ticks
• Varying development density – Mix creates different pest dynamics across neighborhoods
