Common Pests in Monmouth & Ocean County Homes

Ants

Ant infestations are among the most common issues in New Jersey homes.

Top species: Carpenter ants, odorous house ants, pavement ants, and pharaoh ants.

Seasonality: Most active from April through September, when colonies seek food and water indoors.

Risks: Carpenter ants tunnel into wood, which can weaken structural integrity over time.

Fact:  Ocean pest control data shows that calls about ants in NJ rise by more than 40% in summer. This is due to humidity and food activity.

Subterranean termites pose one of the most serious threats to homes in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

Prevalence: New Jersey falls within a moderate to heavy termite infestation zone (U.S. Forest Service).

Damage: Termites cause over $5 billion in structural damage nationwide every year—damage not covered by most homeowners’ insurance.

Local trend: One in five NJ homes will experience some form of termite activity in its lifetime.

Species: The Eastern Subterranean Termite is the most harmful species in this area. It builds mud tubes that can go unnoticed for years.

Rodents (Mice & Rats)

Rodents are a year-round concern but become most active in fall and winter as temperatures drop.

Entry points:  Mice can squeeze through holes as small as ¼ inch, and rats only need ½ inch.

Reproduction:  A single pair of mice can produce up to 60 offspring per year, allowing infestations to grow exponentially.

Damage:  Rodents gnaw electrical wiring, insulation, and wood, increasing fire hazards and property damage.

Health risk:  They can transmit over 35 diseases, including salmonella and hantavirus, through droppings and urine.

These pests often signal hidden sanitation or moisture issues inside the home.

Cockroaches: German and American roaches are most common in NJ. Cockroach allergens are known to trigger asthma, particularly in children.

Spiders: While most are harmless, their presence usually indicates a separate insect food source.

Other invaders: Brown marmorated stink bugs and pantry pests (beetles and moths) often appear in late summer and fall.

Fact: NJ pest control data show that stink bug infestations spike by 70% in September–October as temperatures cool.

Mosquitoes & Stinging Insects

New Jersey’s humid coastal conditions are ideal for mosquitoes, wasps, and hornets.

Mosquitoes:  Breeding peaks after rainfall and in areas with standing water. Some species in NJ can transmit West Nile virus.

Wasps & hornets: Common species include yellowjackets, paper wasps, and bald-faced hornets.

Health concerns: About 500,000 people in the U.S. get treated each year for stings. Allergic reactions are a main reason for summer ER visits.

Prevention:  Regular yard treatments and nest removal reduce both risk and recurrence.

Our mosquito exterminators use safe, EPA-approved treatments. These treatments kill mosquitoes and stop them from breeding. This keeps your yard bite-free all season.
