Manasquan's position as a classic Jersey Shore community creates a vibrant environment where beautiful beaches, a charming downtown, the Manasquan River, and established residential neighborhoods combine with significant mosquito challenges from the borough's unique geography. This beloved shore town, bordered by the Manasquan River to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, offers an ideal coastal lifestyle but faces intense mosquito pressure from extensive tidal marshes and the river system.
The Manasquan River, which forms the borough's southern border, provides massive breeding habitat for multiple mosquito species in its tidal marshes and brackish waters. Properties throughout Manasquan—from the oceanfront homes along Ocean Avenue to riverside properties along River Road, from downtown areas near Main Street to residential neighborhoods throughout the borough—experience significant mosquito pressure during warm months. The combination of river marshes and ocean humidity creates conditions where aggressive mosquito species thrive.
Manasquan's mature tree coverage and beautiful landscaping throughout residential areas provide ideal daytime resting habitat for mosquitoes. The borough's family-oriented beach culture means outdoor spaces—yards, patios, beach access, riverside areas—are central to summer life. When aggressive saltmarsh mosquitoes and other species interfere with outdoor enjoyment, it dramatically impacts quality of life in a community where the outdoor coastal lifestyle defines the Manasquan experience.
Garden State Mosquito & Tick understands Manasquan's specific challenges—treating riverside properties facing direct marsh mosquito pressure, protecting inland neighborhoods from river-breeding populations, addressing the aggressive nature of saltmarsh mosquitoes, and working within a tight-knit shore community where outdoor summer living is paramount.
