Common residential pests in Union County

Older homes, packed neighbourhoods, and patches of green space across Union County create an environment that keeps pests  active year-round. We also know that the pests you will deal with will shift, depending on the season. 

In spring, carpenter ants wake up from the long winter nap and begin their nesting habits if they can find any rotting or moist wood. Carpenter bees are busy boring holes in the exterior window and door trim. Other ants have begun invading the kitchen and bathroom the moment it warms up.

Summer brings outdoor pest issues. Mosquitoes breed in standing water near gardens, backyards, and the county’s parks while tick activity spikes around wooded areas and tall grass. Wasps and hornets also begin to build nests under eaves and along porches, and they’re not shy about defending them.

Once autumn arrives and temperatures drop, mice and rats push inside looking for warmth. Stink bugs cluster around windows and doors, trying to overwinter. Cockroaches move deeper into your home’s kitchens and bathrooms where moisture and heat keep them comfortable.

Homes in Cranford, Westfield and Scotch Plains are affected by termites year-round. The presence of mature trees and aging buildings contribute to those elevated levels. Homes in Elizabeth and Linden usually have higher levels of issues with rodents and cockroaches due to more densely packed housing.

Our residential pest control process

Not all homes are built the same and generic treatments won’t do the trick. We offer strategic pest control services to suit your homes specific needs:

  1. Inspection: We go through your property thoroughly, inside and out. We’re identifying the pest, finding where it’s getting in, and figuring out how bad the situation is.
  2. Custom treatment plan: Based on the inspection, we put together a plan that fits your specific problem, your home’s layout, and your family’s concerns.
  3. Treatment: Licensed technicians apply targeted treatments using products that work against the pest but are safe around your family and pets.
  4. Follow-up and prevention: We return to confirm the treatment held, and we’ll advise you on what you can do on your end. Sealing entry points, managing moisture, removing attractants. All to keep pests from coming back.

Whether you’re dealing with an active infestation, or you just want to stay one step ahead of the problem, we’ve got you covered. We develop plans specifically tailored to your needs and budget, and stay with you every step of the way.

Frequently asked questions

How much does pest control cost in Union County, NJ?

This depends on what you’re treating, how far it has spread, and the size of your property. We offer free inspections and personalised quotes. Get in touch and we’ll tell you exactly what to expect.

What are the most common pests in Union County homes?

Ants, cockroaches and spiders are around all year. Mice and rats tend to increase as the weather gets cooler. Termites are a genuine concern in older properties with timber framing, and mosquitoes and ticks experience an increase during the warmer months, especially around parks and wooded areas.

How often should I schedule pest control?

Usually quarterly treatments make the most sense for most Union County homes because they coincide with seasonal changes in pest activity. If you have a current infestation or recurring problem, monthly visits may be more appropriate. We’ll determine a schedule based on what your property actually needs.

Are landlords responsible for pest control in NJ?

In most cases, yes. Landlords in New Jersey are required to keep property free of pests, including in multi-unit and rental properties. The only exception is if the source of the infestation can be linked directly to a tenant’s actions.

Testimonials

Homeowners and companies love us.
Pests, not so much.

My extended family and I have used Arnold’s Pest control for 20 years for pests like termites, skunks, squirrels, mice, and even rats, with great success. I’ve recently used them for bees, hornets and ants, also with great success. Arnold’s workers are always prompt, professional and honest. Having a long-term relationship with local community trade businesses is good for me and the community.

Brian is the best! This is our 2nd time we called about a squirrel invasion (2 different houses). Talk about good service. He went out and fixed the problem the same day I called. You don’t get this kind of service anywhere. Thank you.
