Pests We Treat - Water on slide.

I also found standing water in places that most homeowners would not even consider as containers. There was an unused sliding board and a barrel lid that had accumulated water. Often, containers are not as obvious as a wheelbarrow or a flowerpot. I tipped dover and emptied these harborage areas. I showed the homeowners what I had found and the areas on the property that needed to be corrected to avoid water collection. One particular mosquito bears mentioning. New Jersey is now home to the Asian Tiger Mosquito. With this mosquito, bites are more than a nuisance. Just like with ticks, mosquitoes can be a vector of many pathogens that cause diseases such as dengue fever and Eastern equine encephalitis. Fortunately, we have not yet seen locally transmitted Zika virus here in New Jersey. The Asian Tiger While most mosquito species will bite only at night, this particular mosquito is much more aggressive, and is both a daytime and nighttime feeder. It is often found in shady areas where it rests in shrubs nearby the ground. Like other mosquitoes, the females look for standing water as a breeding ground.
