You might be one of the rare and lucky few who have no type of insect infestation, but for the vast majority of us, this is a yearly occurrence. In Morris County, we have a lush environment with the beauty of all the seasons. Yet that also makes for a prime climate for pests such as ants, ticks, bees, and other insects.
If you have a large yard, a home you care about or are surrounded by vegetation that could make yearly infestations a chronic issue, it’s worth considering the amount of time, money, and energy you spend on keeping insects in check.
You will have a built-in regimen for the spring, summer, and fall to thwart insects from entering or reproducing on your property. Year after year, our PermaKill Home Protection Plan will take the task of pest control off your shoulders.
If we find a nest for stinging insects, we will eliminate it that same day. You can call us anytime if you spot a bee, yellow jacket, hornet, or wasp nest. Even after we’ve treated your home for the season, we will come back to eradicate a hive any time you need it.
In springtime, we will assess your home for potential breeding areas and, if needed, suggest ways you can prevent this. You will also have a perimeter spray to stop those first insects of the season from getting into your house. Your basement or crawl space will also be treated, as insects like to sneak in through these areas.
During summer, we will do another inspection of your home, attic, and perimeter. We will power spray for those tough, mid-season pests, and check your attic for any infestations or hives.
In the autumn season, we will place scientifically-proven effective rodenticide in basements and attics. Using this method helps to prevent rodents from moving into your home as the months get colder. We also pay distinct attention to kitchens and bathrooms—places that are notorious for mice to enter a house through cabinets.
The trouble with managing insects and pests on your own is that you’re potentially exposing yourself to harmful chemicals without ample experience in how to correctly use them. Even if you have knowledge of the substances to keep all unwanted insects at bay, most people do not have the equipment to cover the full areas needed to prevent insect intrusions correctly.
We only use intense treatment for pest eradication after assessing whether it is needed. An experienced entomologist will not only give you a customized plan but also will offer you useful tips to prevent pests from returning.
Bugs and insects can not only be a creepy nuisance; many can carry dangerous diseases. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease, and the rates of this condition are soaring in New Jersey.
Cockroaches can be notoriously difficult to eliminate on your own. Not to mention roaches can spread severe diseases such as typhoid fever, cholera, viral infections, respiratory illnesses, and dysentery among others. We take care of cockroaches if needed, also.
Bees are a life-threatening allergy for close to 10 percent of the population, but even those who are not allergic can be hospitalized if they encounter numerous stings. Bees can be a literal pain, as well as cause damage to your home if they build their hive on the structure of your house.
With our plan, we also eliminate and prevent carpenter ants, carpenter bees, yellow jackets, wasps, hornets, sow bugs, mice, rats, squirrels, spiders, as well as other pests.

Rodents commonly enter homes during the winter time, which is why it is important to know what you are up against this time of year. If you live in New Jersey, there are a few different types of rats and mice that you may encounter. Here is a list of the most common rodents in New Jersey:
This small grey or brown mouse with a lighter colored belly is the most common in New Jersey. These mice can live outdoors, but they prefer to live indoors and close to their nests. They carry disease and contaminate food supplies and prep areas with droppings, making them a danger in your home. Physical characteristics: grey or brown fur, small eyes, large ears with light hair, long nearly-hairless tail.
This mouse has light brown fur and distinctly white feet. It mostly lives in marshy, wooded areas outdoors, but will forage indoors for bird seed and other food during the winter. It can carry deer ticks and disease, so it is not to be taken lightly if you see one in your home. Physical characteristics: light brown fur, white belly and feet, large eyes and ears, narrow tail.
Also known as the “Field Mouse”, it is brown with a white belly. This mouse tends to live in grassy, prairie like areas. They don’t tend to invade homes, but they may if their habitat is disrupted by human activity. The Deer Mouse can carry deer ticks and disease. Physical characteristics: brown fur, white belly and feet, large eyes and ears, a bi-colored tail.
Also known as “Roof Rats” and “Ship Rats”. These rats have black fur and lighter colored bellies. They are great climbers, and have found their way to NJ on ships docking on the coast. They can consume a large quantity of food and can contaminate the household and food stores quickly. They carry lots of disease and should be considered dangerous. Physical characteristics: black fur, lighter colored bellies, large ears and eyes, super long and scaly tail.
The most common rat in the US, these rats are brown or grey with a white belly. They live in large colonies in underground tunnels. These rats carry lots of disease as well as fleas, so they should not be taken lightly if seen in a home.
