With summer just around the corner, prepare to be attacked by some of the deadliest creatures on Earth as they make a comeback searching for a juicy meal.
This is a debate we find ourselves in every summer….which is worse, the green head fly or the mosquito? Both are summer residents here at the Jersey Shore. If you have lived here for any time, then you know that these are two HUGE pests!
September is peak season for West Nile Virus in New Jersey and the State Department of Health is urging residents to protect themselves against infected mosquitoes.
A 7-year-old alpaca in Camden County and a 2-year-old gelding horse in Ocean County are the fourth and fifth reported animal cases of Eastern Equine Encephalitis in New Jersey this year.
State officials report the number of mosquito pools with positive West Nile virus readings is down more than 75 percent from a year ago at this same time, but another mosquito threat is looming.
