Protecting Riverfront Homes & Estates Along the Navesink & Shrewsbury Rivers
Rumson sits on a peninsula between two tidal rivers, which makes it one of the most beautiful places in New Jersey to own a backyard, and one of the buggiest. The marsh grasses and river edges along the Navesink and Shrewsbury produce relentless salt marsh mosquitoes, and the borough’s mature trees and landscaped grounds shelter ticks. Mosquito Jane provides discreet, professional barrier treatments for Rumson properties of every size, from village lots near downtown to riverfront estates, so your outdoor spaces stay as usable as they are beautiful.
Why pay for treatments every 21 days when ours lasts 30?
Enjoy your backyard again without constant bites

Eco-friendly treatments by local experts you can trust
Rumson Mosquito & Tick Services
Seasonal Mosquito Control
Riverfront and near-river properties in Rumson face tidal mosquito pressure that ordinary bug spray cannot touch. Our micro-encapsulated barrier program treats the full property every 30 days from spring through October, with special attention to shorelines, hedgerows and shaded gardens.
Rumson’s old-growth trees, ivy beds and deer traffic make tick habitat out of even the most manicured grounds. We treat the shaded perimeters and planting beds where ticks hide, protecting kids, pets and anyone who loves the garden.
Rumson hosts some of the Shore’s most memorable at-home weddings and waterfront celebrations. We provide an intensive one-time treatment 24 to 48 hours before your event, timed around your tent and floral setup, so the evening on the river goes exactly as planned.
For properties along the rivers, many homeowners prefer a plant-based approach. Our organic sprays offer effective mosquito reduction with no synthetic chemicals, well suited to waterfront settings, gardens and households with children and pets.
Mosquito Jane is a locally operated Monmouth and Ocean County company, and our technicians are on Rumson Road and Ridge Road all season. We understand what riverfront homeowners expect: punctual arrivals, tidy work, coordination with landscapers and event vendors, and treatments that perform. Every visit is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Water defines Rumson. The borough is bounded by the Navesink River to the north and the Shrewsbury River to the south and east, and the tidal wetlands along both are prime breeding ground for salt marsh mosquitoes, aggressive daytime biters that can travel well inland from the marsh. Even properties blocks from the water feel it, because Rumson’s lush canopy, dense plantings and irrigated landscapes give adult mosquitoes cool, humid places to rest between meals. The same shade and greenery, combined with steady deer movement through the borough, sustains blacklegged deer ticks in planting beds, ground cover and lawn edges from early spring into November.
Life in Rumson happens outside: sailing off the yacht clubs, afternoons at Victory Park and Riverside Park, tennis and golf, and long summer evenings entertaining on the patio. Mosquito Jane protects that lifestyle for homeowners across the borough and its neighbors, including:
