Barnegat offers its residents plenty of opportunities to get outdoors, from exploring Public Beach to a walk through Meadowedge Park or along Double Creek. Whether you feel called to explore the nearby Upper Barnegat Bay Wildlife Management Area or admire the bay, you run the risk of pests hitchhiking along on your clothing or in your pets’ fur.
In Barnegat, tick control and mosquito treatments are just a phone call away thanks to Last Bite.
The last thing any home or business owner in Barnegat should do is let blood-sucking pests like ticks and mosquitoes take over their properties. These pests aren’t just annoying—they’re threats with the ability to spread dangerous pathogens with a single bite.
Investing in robust pest control measures reduces the spread of these creepy crawlies, reducing the rate of bites and protecting the guests on your property.
Ticks can spread rapidly in a matter of weeks. Each female lays anywhere from several hundred to several thousand eggs at once. They hatch in a matter of weeks and require blood meals to grow—which means you, your loved ones or your pets could be on the menu.
In Barnegat, ticks are mostly active during the warmer months, from April to September, but they can be present and biting at any time in the year. Keep an eye out for signs of tick activity, checking yourself, pets and young children regularly for signs of ticks.
If your property is wooded, shady or overgrown, it’s not a matter of if a tick arrives. It’s a matter of when. Take precautions such as regularly mowing your lawn, keeping your yard clean, and removing wood piles or leaf litter to make your property less hospitable. Don’t forget to invest in regular tick yard treatments with Last Bite to keep them at bay.
Mosquito infestations are usually pretty self-evident. You’ll see or hear swarms of mosquitoes in the air around dusk and dawn, when they’re most active. At other times, they tend to hide in shady, humid spaces, such as in long grass or under decks.
Keep in mind that mosquitoes reproduce in standing water. If you have any on your property, take a peek. Any wriggling larvae present in the water indicate that mosquitoes have settled in, and they’re not likely to leave unless you take action. Dump out any stagnant water and invest in Last Bite’s mosquito control in Barnegat quickly.
Pests may be annoying, but Last Bite’s eco-friendly treatment plans are truly hassle-free. We tailor your options to your property’s needs, ensuring you get the best results possible.
Our In2Care mosquito control trap actively attracts mosquitoes, infecting them with an EPA-approved fungus that kills them. In their last days, they carry the fungus to new breeding spots, infecting the water and preventing larval development. Don’t worry—this technique has zero impact on non-target species.
