Mosquito Control 2023: What You Should Know

The Middlesex County Mosquito Extermination Commission and the American Mosquito Control Association (AMCA) help educate the general public about the significance of mosquitoes in their daily lives and the important service provided by mosquito control workers throughout New Jersey and the United States.

Mosquito control is everyone's responsibility; please do your part by preventing mosquito production on your property. In compliance with section 9.10 and 9.1 S of the New Jersey Pesticide Control Code (N.J.A.C. Title 7, Chapter 30), the Middlesex County Mosquito Extermination Commission (MCMEC) may be applying mosquito control products for the control of adult mosquito populations on an area-wide basis, as needed, throughout Middlesex County during the period of May 1st through November 30th.
