College basketball may have March Madness, but Monmouth County has Mosquito Madness--Mosquito Tire Madness, that is. Between March 1 and April 3, the Monmouth County Mosquito Control will get a jump start on thwarting the seasonal bloodsuckers by picking up tires that are stored outside and are no longer used.
The program is currently in effect only in the Squankum and Fernwood Acres sections of Howell.
If it sounds like a strange way to obliterate the summertime pest, think again. Tires stored outside collect rainwater, which provides a habitat for mosquitoes, the county said. Up to 10,000 tiny terrors can live happily in just one tire.
For information or to schedule a pickup, call the Monmouth County Mosquito Control at 732-542-3630.
