Wantage

The township of Wantage is situated in Sussex County, New Jersey. Wantage is a picturesque home to people from 15 unincorporated municipalities and borders the towns of Vernon and Montague.

The beautiful creeks and forests that draw people to Wantage are equally enticing to common pests. Rodents, termites, rats, and roaches all pose a seasonal inconvenience to local homeowners. Additionally, Wantage has seen a severe uptick in mosquito population in the last few years.

Mosquitos are known to carry several diseases, including West Nile virus, Eastern Equine encephalitis, Jamestown Canyon virus, La Crosse encephalitis virus, St. Louis encephalitis, Zika virus, Chikungunya, Dengue, Yellow Fever, and even Malaria. Stagnant water is the perfect breeding ground for mosquitos, which are capable of producing around 300 eggs from a single mating session.

Given Sussex County’s bountiful creeks, rivers, and ponds, it is no surprise the County created the Office of Mosquito Control to limit local mosquito populations.
