Mosquito Control in Englewood, NJ

Mosquito control in Englewood, NJ starts with water. Englewood sits on the slope below the Palisades, and the Flat Rock Brook preserve and its wetland run along the east side of town. Shaded yards, mature trees, gutters and anything that holds rainwater give mosquitoes plenty of places to breed and rest. Clearview Pest Control Inc. treats yards from our office on West Palisade Avenue, so you can use your yard again in summer.

How our mosquito treatment works

  1. Walk the property and find every place water collects: gutters, downspout extensions, plant saucers, tarps, toys, birdbaths, tree holes and low spots in the lawn.
  2. Remove or drain what can be emptied, and show you what to keep dry between visits.
  3. Larvicide standing water that can’t be drained, such as catch basins or ornamental ponds, to stop larvae before they become adults.
  4. Barrier treatment on the shaded plants, shrubs and fence lines where adult mosquitoes rest during the day.
  5. Repeat every three to four weeks through the season, roughly May into the fall.

Why Englewood yards get mosquitoes

  • Shade. Mature trees keep yards cool and damp, which is where adult mosquitoes rest.
  • Wetland nearby. Homes near Flat Rock Brook and its 150-acre preserve are close to natural breeding water.
  • Slope and runoff. Water running down from the Palisades collects in low yards, window wells and clogged drains.
  • Containers. The Asian tiger mosquito, a day-biter, breeds in water as small as a bottle cap. Most backyard bites in summer come from containers within a short distance of the house.

What results to expect

A barrier treatment cuts the number of mosquitoes resting in your yard. It works best when breeding water is removed too. One customer called us at night from a mosquito-filled backyard. Twenty-four hours later she was sitting outside again without being bitten.

County spraying and your yard

Bergen County runs its own mosquito control program, including scheduled truck spraying on public streets. That helps across the area, but it does not treat the shaded shrubs and containers in your yard. A yard treatment fills that gap.

Frequently asked questions about mosquito control in Englewood

I have no standing water. Where are the mosquitoes coming from?

Usually from small, hidden water: clogged gutters, the inside of a tarp, a plant saucer, a tree hole or a neighbor’s yard. Adults then rest in your shrubs. The property walk finds most of these.

How long does a treatment last?

About three to four weeks, depending on rain and heat. That is why we schedule visits on that cycle through the season.

When should I start?

Before mosquitoes peak, usually in May. Starting early keeps the first generations from building up.

Is it safe around children, pets and vegetable beds?

We use EPA-registered products and follow the label. Children and pets stay off treated areas until they are dry. We don’t spray edible plants. Tell us where your beds are and we work around them.

Do you treat for ticks too?

Yes. Ticks are common in yards that back onto woods. Ask about adding tick treatment when you book.
