One species, Aedes aegypti, is known to carry this virus from person to person. The other, known as the Asian tiger mosquito, might transmit it. Both species are found in NJ.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">\u2022 Zika season might extend beyond summer. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2016\/03\/10\/what-you-should-know-about-zika-virus\/\" target=\"_blank\">Zika virus<\/a> isn\u2019t just a concern for summer. Mosquitoes that carry this disease are expected to be active between June and October.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">\u2022 Zika can cause birth defects, making it a serious threat to pregnant women. The Zika virus is known to cause microcephaly, a severe form of brain damage that causes infants\u2019 heads to be abnormally small.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">\u2022 Travel between Puerto Rico and NJ is expected to add to Zika concerns. Many people travel to and from Puerto Rico via NJ\u2019s Newark Airport. Puerto Rico has been hit hard by the Zika virus, raising concerns that travelers could unknowingly spread the disease in NJ.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a mosquito problem, contact <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\">Allison Pest Control<\/a>.
