Bed Bugs

It is essential to correctly identify bugs similar to bed bugs, such as poultry and bat bugs, to determine the most effective treatment. Adult bed bugs are reddish-brown and about the size of an apple seed. They become darker red after feeding on blood. Although newly hatched and nymph bed bugs are much smaller and almost invisible to the naked eye, they are excellent at hitchhiking and can easily transfer to humans and pets for a meal. Despite being wingless, they are persistent pests that can disrupt your sleep and cause stress. To get rid of these pests and enjoy a peaceful night's sleep, it is best to rely on a certified technician to conduct a thorough inspection and provide appropriate treatment.

Beetles

Your home could be at risk of beetle infestation. These unwelcome guests can cause serious damage by feeding on wood or infecting plants, herbs, spices, and stored grain products. Even the click beetle may occasionally find its way inside due to seasonal changes or attraction to light. It's important to take action and prevent this issue from escalating. A thorough inspection, treatment, prevention, and education process can be implemented using environmentally safe materials both inside and outside the structure. Protect your home and belongings with these proactive measures.

Carpenter Ants

Ants of varying colors, including black, red, and yellow, can be easily recognized by their size, which ranges from half an inch to an inch in length. Unfortunately, their presence can pose a threat as they tend to damage wooden structures by creating tunnels and nesting areas inside them, ultimately weakening the structure over time. Although they usually nest outside, they can also infiltrate indoor areas to search for food and shelter. Our team of experts will conduct a thorough examination of the property to identify any entry points and locate any wood that has been damaged or infested with pests. We will also provide practical suggestions to make your home less appealing to these pests. Finally, we will develop a personalized treatment plan to address the root cause of the pest problem.

Carpet Beetles

In New Jersey, the two most common types of beetles are the varied and black carpet beetles. While some individuals may experience reactions to these insects, their primary concern is the harm they inflict on items such as clothing, carpets, furniture, and even human and pet hair. These beetles consume these items during their larval stage, resulting in destruction. Their introduction into a space can occur through plants, flowers, or infested fabric items, but their primary means of ingress as an adult is from the outside of a building while foraging for sustenance. A comprehensive inspection, treatment, prevention, and education are required to address this issue.

Centipedes & Millipedes

Centipedes and millipedes are often considered pests due to their segmented bodies and multiple pairs of legs. Centipedes are commonly known as "a hundred leggers" because of their numerous legs. Although they typically prefer to dwell in dark and damp outdoor areas, they can also find their way into homes, particularly in basements and crawl spaces. However, rest assured that our expert professionals will conduct a thorough interior inspection and provide recommendations for effective preventive measures and treatment to keep your home free from these unwanted guests.

Clover Mites

These tiny red pests are about the size of a pinhead and tend to gather in large groups while feeding on plants. Although they are mostly considered bothersome pests, they can accidentally find their way into buildings. One major problem with these pests is that they leave behind a red stain when crushed, which can cause damage to property. Our team of experts is well-trained to handle these pests and can be contacted for their elimination.

Cockroaches

It is essential to be aware of the dangers that cockroach infestations can pose to your health. Despite not being known to bite, these pests can reproduce rapidly, and their shed skin and excrement can trigger allergic reactions and asthma attacks. Additionally, they carry harmful diseases such as E. Coli and Salmonella, making them a serious threat to your well-being. Our region is home to several common types of cockroaches, including American, Brown-banded, German, and Oriental. However, the Pennsylvania wood roach is less of a concern as it tends to stay outside in wooded areas. Our team of skilled professionals can help you get rid of these pests at their source and provide practical prevention tips to keep them from returning.

Crickets

Two types of crickets, the house cricket and the camel or cave cricket, are known for invading buildings. These insects thrive in warm, dark, and moist environments like basements, crawl spaces, and laundry rooms. Depending on the species, crickets can spread diseases through their excrement and saliva, and even bite. They also feed on fabrics, including clothing and furniture, as well as organic matter like houseplants.

To prevent cricket infestations and related health issues, our professionals can perform a thorough inspection and recommend preventative measures. It's important to note that crickets usually come from the exterior of the building and must be handled with care to avoid recurrence.

Earwigs

Earwigs, although they may look intimidating with their pincer-like appendages, are typically not dangerous. These occasional invaders often seek refuge in structures during weather changes, preferring damp and dark areas like basements, laundry rooms, or utility closets. You can rest easy knowing that our team of trained professionals has the expertise to perform a thorough inspection and create a personalized treatment plan to handle these pesky pests.

Fleas

It's worth noting that adult fleas can be tough to spot without magnification due to their small size, which is comparable to a grain of sand, and their brownish-red coloring. Fleas are hard to crush due to their durable shell, and they can jump up to eight inches onto their host. These pests are not just bothersome but also pose a significant health risk to both animals and humans. They spread diseases and parasites to their host, and their saliva can cause allergic reactions. Fleas typically invade homes through pets or people who have been outside and picked up fleas. However, they can also attach themselves to objects, such as furniture, that have come into contact with an infected animal. If you're dealing with a flea infestation, it's crucial to be meticulous and dedicated since these pests can hide in hard-to-reach areas. Our team of highly trained professionals is here to help you prepare adequately, conduct a thorough inspection of your property, and use certified safe materials to treat your entire home, inside and out, if necessary. We'll also provide you with education on preventive measures to avoid future flea infestations.

Flies

In our area, various types of flies can be found, such as house flies, fruit flies, and those that hitchhike on produce. Drain flies or sewer gnats are also common. Flies carry bacteria and pathogens from unsanitary conditions, posing a health hazard if left unchecked. Our trained professionals can help eliminate these pests and prevent future issues by implementing proper sanitation techniques to eliminate breeding sites and controlling access to structures. We use environmentally friendly insecticides and fly lights in commercial accounts as part of a comprehensive, integrated pest management inspection.

Mosquitoes

Dealing with mosquitoes can be a real nuisance, not to mention that they can also pose a serious health risk by spreading bloodborne illnesses like Zika and West Nile viruses, malaria, and Chikungunya to humans. Mosquitoes are found in various areas around a property where they seek out conditions that are essential for their survival, such as a source of food (like flowering plants for nectar and blood for egg development), water to lay their eggs in, and shelter in gutters, downspouts, and dense vegetation. Our team of expert professionals has the hands-on experience required to manage these pests and can recommend preventative measures while ensuring the most effective treatment. We offer various backyard mosquito control services, including recurring barrier protection, special event sprays, all-natural protection, and a combination of tick and mosquito treatment.

Moths
(Webbing Clothes or Pantry Pests)

Moths are a common problem in New Jersey households, with two types being prevalent. The Indian meal moth, also known as the pantry pest, feeds on specific food items such as grains, pasta, and spices. They tend to enter homes through infested packages or products from warehouses or stores. These pests have a gray body and brown wings, and they can be spotted flying around food items they've infested to lay eggs. The other common type of moth found in our area is the webbing clothes moth, which feeds on various fabric types like silk, wool, cotton, furs, and synthetic materials. They produce silk webbing patches from their diet, hence the name. However, proper sanitation and targeted treatment can prevent moth infestations. Our trained professionals will identify the source of the infestation, educate you on proper sanitation, and then spot-treat and bait the infested areas for maximum effectiveness.

Rodents (Mice & Rats)

In our area, we often come across two kinds of rodents: mice and rats. House mice and deer mice are the ones that usually invade buildings, causing damage to the structure, utilities, and personal belongings by gnawing them to build their nests. This leads to financial difficulties for the occupants of the building. Moreover, these rodents spread diseases such as salmonellosis and dysentery (in the case of house mice) and Hantavirus (in the case of deer mice) by contaminating food and surfaces with their saliva, urine, and feces.

Roof rats are excellent climbers and can enter a building from the attic or roof line connected to a nearby tree or adjacent building, causing significant damage once inside. Conversely, Norway rats are not good climbers and usually burrow near the buildings they frequently visit, often on the ground level near their food source. Both mice and rats can also introduce fleas and ticks into the building, worsening the problem. Our specialists will thoroughly inspect the property and structure, identify entry points, recommend exclusion techniques, and treat and eliminate these pests at their source. If rodenticides are used as a treatment method, they will be placed in a labeled and tamper-proof station to ensure safety.

Silverfish

Silverfish are a bothersome kind of insect that can cause serious damage to your personal belongings. With their silver and gray scales and quick movements, they tend to thrive in damp and humid areas of buildings. They often infiltrate buildings through infested boxes, papers, or packaging, as well as through cracks or crawl spaces. Our team of experts will conduct a comprehensive inspection to identify areas of infestation and treat the affected structure with certified materials, if necessary. Trust us to rid your space of these pesky creatures and protect your valuables.

Small Ants

Small ants are a common pest problem in New Jersey. There are different types, including acrobat ants, odorous house ants, pavement ants, pharaoh ants, and citronella ants. These ants can contaminate food, emit unpleasant odors, and even damage wiring insulation. They tend to gather around water sources during warmer weather. Although they usually live outside, they may enter buildings in search of food and water. Pharaoh ants are particularly concerning as they can spread illnesses such as salmonella and streptococcus, and relocate their colonies if the queen is threatened. Our team of experts can provide a comprehensive solution to this issue by conducting an inspection, implementing treatment, prevention, and education methods tailored to your specific needs.

Spiders

In New Jersey, various types of spiders can infiltrate homes, such as the house spider, jumping spider, wolf spider, and black widow spider, which is particularly dangerous due to its potent venom. These arachnids usually enter structures from the outside to construct webs and prey on insects indoors. To counter infestations, it is highly recommended to utilize an exterior power-spraying treatment in all vulnerable areas and to administer targeted interior treatments for problem areas.

Spotted Lanternflies

Are you familiar with the spotted lanternfly? It's an invasive insect species that has infiltrated New Jersey and is causing extensive harm to crops and hardwood trees. These pesky insects have a tendency to congregate around vertical and sun-warmed surfaces, displaying their vivid wings and distinctive spots. It's of utmost importance to take swift action to eliminate these pests and prevent any further damage to the environment.

Stinging Insects
(Bees, Hornets & Wasps)

New Jersey has three types of stinging insects: bees, hornets, and wasps. These insects can threaten humans and pets if they feel threatened near their nesting or feeding areas. They may even nest on or inside a building's structure, causing damage to the property. However, it's important to remember that these insects are also essential pollinators for the environment. Therefore, it's crucial to take a measured approach when dealing with them. Our team of professionals is trained to inspect properties thoroughly, identify entry points, suggest exclusion methods, and treat and eliminate these pests at their source. 

If we come across a honeybee colony, we suggest contacting beekeeping professionals who can carefully extract the queen, hive, and honey from the structure while repairing any damage caused by the bees over time through nesting. Taking a targeted and thoughtful approach can eliminate these pests while protecting the environment and non-target insects from harm.

Stink Bugs

Shield or stink bugs pose no threat to humans but can become a nuisance. Their notable defense mechanism, a pungent odor, is used against predators. These seasonal pests seek refuge in structures during the colder months and reemerge in the warmer seasons. To effectively prevent their entry into buildings, treatment should take place in the autumn with a thorough power-spraying of the exterior.

Termites

The presence of termites in a dwelling or structure can pose significant damage, which they infest. They reside in subterranean colonies and can be seen above the soil within the structure in mud tubes traveling towards their next meal, the framing of the building. Most property owners do not know they have an issue, and until a home inspection is performed, construction work opens a wall, or when warm weather arrives, termite swarmers emerge and drop their wings en masse. These subterranean termites feed on cellulose found in wood and, while foraging, can find their way inside the structure through a crack in the foundation. Once inside, these pests can travel behind the structure's walls and under the floors unnoticed before they are caught and the damage is already done. Fortunately, the most effective way to eliminate and manage them from coming back is with the help of our highly trained professionals. We will thoroughly inspect the premises, educate and inform customers of minimizing the possibility of infestations to the property as noted, and provide multimodal forms of treatment and prevention. As an alternative to the traditional treatment methods involving the injection of hundreds of gallons of pesticides into the soil, we now offer a just as effective use of advanced perimeter baiting systems and targeted liquid treatment to reduce the environmental impact on our planet.

Ticks

Ticks of different species are prevalent in rural and suburban New Jersey areas, especially in overgrown vegetation and common wildlife. These pests can transmit various diseases to humans and pets, including Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, ehrlichiosis, tularemia, and Lyme Disease, depending on the type of tick. To safeguard your property and mitigate the risk of infestation, it is crucial to treat the areas surrounding your property and fence line. Our technicians are highly trained to conduct thorough inspections of your premises, educate you on how to minimize infestations and provide various forms of treatment and prevention. If needed, we can execute inside treatments to eradicate any pests within your structure.
