Lake Como

Why choose us

Local Pest Challenges

Why Lake Como Has Significant Mosquito Activity:

• Wreck Pond proximity – The large freshwater pond provides major breeding habitat affecting all Lake Como properties
• Tiny borough size – At 0.2 square miles, every property is close to pond-breeding mosquitoes
• Surrounded by larger municipalities – Pests from Belmar and Spring Lake easily reach Lake Como
• Ocean humidity – Coastal location creates constant moisture ideal for mosquito activity
• Dense shore development – Homes close together allow mosquitoes to move easily between properties
• Mature landscaping – Established trees and shrubs provide extensive mosquito resting habitat
• Limited municipal resources – Small borough has minimal capacity for mosquito control programs
• Compact residential character – When outdoor spaces exist, families use them intensively
• Beach proximity – Ocean breezes sometimes help but don't eliminate pond-source mosquitoes
• Well-maintained properties – Beautiful landscaping creates lush vegetation where mosquitoes hide

Common Lake Como Pest Problems We Treat:

• Freshwater Mosquitoes – Multiple species breeding in Wreck Pond and traveling into the borough
• Asian Tiger Mosquitoes – Container-breeding species in residential areas, aggressive daytime biters
• Northern House Mosquitoes – Active at dusk and dawn, carriers of West Nile Virus
• Container-Breeding Species – Mosquitoes breeding in planters, clogged gutters, yard items
• Saltmarsh Mosquitoes – Occasional visitors from coastal areas
• Deer Ticks – Less common but present in any vegetated areas
• Dog Ticks – Found in grassy residential yards

Lake Como's combination of Wreck Pond proximity and tiny size means the entire borough faces consistent mosquito pressure from pond-breeding populations.
