Rodent Control Newark is a Norway rat city. Sewers, old brick basements and shared row-house walls give them room to move, and the block next door is always feeding them too. Bed Bug Treatment Newark is a renter city of shared walls, and bed bugs travel those walls. One infested unit becomes three, and the only fix is treating the way they actually spread. Cockroach Control Two very different roaches work Newark: the small German roach that breeds in warm apartment kitchens, and the big American roach that comes up from the sewers. Ant Control Pavement ants own Newark sidewalks, odorous house ants trail across kitchen counters, and carpenter ants quietly work the wet wood in old frame houses. Termite Treatment The Eastern subterranean termite works quietly through Newark’s old wood-frame housing, coming up from the soil into sills and joists most owners never inspect. Wasp & Hornet Removal Yellowjackets in the ground and the wall, bald-faced hornets in the tree, and paper wasps under every porch eave. In a dense city, the nest is always close to people. Mosquito Control The Asian tiger mosquito rules Newark backyards, breeding in a bottle cap of water and biting all day. Control is about the water on your block, not fogging the air. Commercial Ironbound restaurants, apartment buildings and port-side warehouses each draw pests for their own reasons, and each carries a rule an inspector will check.

House Mouse Walls & kitchens Slips through a pencil-width gap into cabinets and walls on any floor of an old frame house. Bed Bug Beds & shared walls Hitchhikes in and travels apartment to apartment through the wall voids and outlets. German Cockroach Warm kitchens The small tan roach that breeds fast behind the fridge and rides between apartment units. American Cockroach Drains & sewers The big reddish water bug that comes up from the sewer through floor drains at night. Pavement Ant Sidewalks & slabs Nests under the endless concrete of the city and trails indoors along the foundation. Odorous House Ant Counters & sweets Trails to sweets across the counter and smells faintly of coconut when crushed. Carpenter Ant Damp wood The big black ant that tunnels galleries into the wet wood of Newark’s older homes. Subterranean Termite Soil to sills Builds mud tubes up the foundation and eats the framing of century-old houses from within. Yellowjacket Ground & wall voids Nests in the ground and the walls, then turns aggressive and scavenging by late summer.
