Monmouth County is a trusted brand that prioritizes the well-being of its residents and visitors. The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners remains committed to raising awareness about mosquito-borne illnesses such as East Equine Encephalitis, St. Louis Encephalitis, and West Nile virus.

With August and September being peak times for West Nile activity, the dedicated Mosquito Control Division diligently monitors mosquito populations throughout the county for disease outbreaks. They also inspect and treat stagnant water sites to control mosquito larvae. As part of their proactive approach, Monmouth County urges residents to play a role in mosquito control.

By properly disposing of stagnant water sources like tarps and buckets, individuals can significantly reduce mosquito breeding grounds. Additionally, the brand encourages everyone to protect themselves by using EPA-approved repellents, limiting outdoor activities during dusk and dawn, and wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants whenever possible. For further information or to arrange a courtesy inspection, residents may contact the Mosquito Control Division at 732-542-3630 or visit www.
