Sussex is a picturesque county located in northern New Jersey. Sussex County was originally inhabited by indigenous tribes before Dutch and French settlers began arriving around 1690. While close to New York City, the county is mostly rural, with diverse landscapes and a history deeply rooted in agriculture. It has a mix of forested land, lakes, and hilly terrain. Prominent geographical features include Kittatinny Mountain, Hopatcong Lake, and the Wallkill River. The Delaware River forms the western and northwestern border.
Outdoor recreation is popular throughout the county, with plenty of state parks like High Point State Park for hiking, fishing, boating, and skiing. Other attractions include the Appalachian Trail and numerous historical sites and villages. Visitors travel to the region for the views, the resorts and parks, and the history, making tourism a big part of the economy.
Rolling hills, forests, rivers, and watersheds make for some beautiful scenery and idyllic living for the residents and visitors of Sussex County, but these natural features also attract a host of nuisance pests. Ticks and mosquitoes are especially bothersome species during the warmer months that stretch from spring to fall, making professional pest control from Last Bite essential.
Ticks are small arachnids that can transmit infections like Lyme disease through their bite. Warming temperatures have contributed to an extended active season for ticks, leading to more bites and higher rates of reported cases of Lyme disease, so having a strategy to avoid bites is important:
Last Bite’s approach to Sussex County tick control includes our EPA-approved Barrier Spray. This treatment is environmentally friendly and safe to use around people and pets. It’s effective at killing common tick species like black-legged ticks (deer ticks) and American dog ticks.
Mosquitoes thrive in Sussex County due to the plentiful natural habitats around the numerous waterways. Standing water from pool covers, lawn furniture, and bird baths also attracts the insects and provides breeding grounds. Sussex County mosquito control from Last Bite targets these breeding grounds to kill mosquitoes, while creating a protective perimeter around your property to keep them out.
Our Last Bite Green is a popular Sussex County mosquito treatment because it is non-toxic and plant safe, with each application lasting for three to four weeks. We also offer In2Care Mosquito traps, which use a pet and bee-safe fungus to kill mosquitoes.
