Why New Dorp Yards Can Have Mosquito & Tick Pressure
New Dorp is a dense East Shore residential and commercial area where backyards, shrubs, patios, drainage and neighboring sources can drive very localized mosquito pressure.
Residential yards with foundation beds, fences, patios, pools, play areas and mature landscaping can create many shaded resting zones. Mature hedges, ivy, ornamental beds and layered landscaping can create cool protected zones that are easy for mosquitoes and ticks to use. Coastal humidity and breeze patterns can change where mosquitoes rest, making protected shrubs, fence lines and shaded pockets especially important.
