Early Thursday morning, the Mosquito Control Commission will be in the community spraying and surveilling areas throughout Camden County.
“It’s important for residents to be cognizant of any standing water on their property,” said Commissioner Jeffrey Nash, liaison to the Camden County Mosquito Commission. “Mosquitos need standing water to breed, so you can help keep them off your property by removing water from places like flowerpots and containers. Being proactive has a major impact on the mosquito population and helps the hardworking people at the Camden County Mosquito Control Commission in their efforts.”
Camden County Mosquito Commission will be conducting ULV “spraying” operations on Thursday, September 17, 2026, between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. in the following locations, weather permitting:

“The commission works with the New Jersey Public Health Environmental Laboratories in Trenton to verify the presence of West Nile Virus and other communicable diseases in their samples,” continued Nash. “When an area tests positive, the Mosquito Commission returns to spray the area when the mosquitoes are most active. It’s important to know that the mosquito spray used by the commission is not harmful to humans or pets, but you should avoid direct contact if you have respiratory concerns or are sensitive to irritants.”
The Camden County Mosquito Commission suggests checking around your yard for containers that may become a place for mosquito breeding. The following is a checklist of tips to help eliminate mosquito breeding:
- Dispose of unnecessary containers that hold water. Turn containers that you wish to keep upside down or put holes in the bottom, so water drains out. Just a teaspoon of stagnant water is capable of hosting over 100 mosquito eggs.
- Swimming pools are a common problem. All pools must be checked and maintained to keep them mosquito-free. Swimming pools can breed mosquitoes within days after you stop adding chlorine or other disinfectants. Pool covers can catch rainwater and become a mosquito breeding ground.
- Consider adding mosquito larvicide to ornamental ponds.
- Change water in bird baths, fountains, and animal troughs weekly.
- Maintain screens on windows and doors to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home or business.
- Screen vents to septic and other water tanks.
- Do not dump leaves or grass clippings into a catch basin or streams.
- Do not allow water to collect on sagging tarps or awnings.
- Do not allow trashcan lids to fill with water.
- Store large boats so they drain, and small boats upside down. If covered, keep the tarp tight so water does not pool on top of the tarp.
