Mosquito Trap Data

These collections are from standard New Jersey light traps that are commonly used to record changes in abundance of mosquitoes before and after control campaigns and to compare seasonal and annual fluctuations in population. Since not all mosquito species are attracted equally to light traps, the City uses a variety of other trapping and survey methods (with their own limitations) to monitor mosquitoes.

Not all trap collection sites are factored into the historical averages. Some data can be incomplete due to trap failure. Some trap locations change over time.
