Milford, NJ Pest Control

Milford is a small borough in New Jersey, located in the Hunterdon Plateau along the Delaware River. It started with a small community that formed around a grist mill built on the river. The mill burned down in 1769, briefly giving the town the name of Burnt Mills. It was renamed Lowreytown and then Millsford before settling on the current spelling of Milford in 1863.

Milford is conveniently located near multiple parks. Ringing Rocks County Park is known for its boulder field, where striking rocks create a ringing sound. It also offers hiking, biking, and an 18-foot waterfall. Delaware Canal State Park also has great hiking, boating, picnicking, and wildlife watching. Other nearby spots that are popular for a wide range of outdoor activities are Giving Pond, Musconetcong Gorge, and Alba Vineyard.

Climate and Plants Invite Pests

With so many natural features in and around the town, pest problems are a year-round concern for Milford residents and business owners. The climate also contributes to the significant threat of pests. Milford receives an above-average rainfall of about 49 inches per year and has warm and humid summers that support growing pest populations. Common species in the area include:

• Ants
• Bed bugs
• Bees
• Beetles
• Carpenter ants
• Carpenter bees
• Centipedes
• Cockroaches
• Earwigs
• Fleas
• Flies
• Hornets
• Ladybugs
• Mice
• Millipedes
• Mites
• Mosquitoes
• Moths
• Rats
• Silverfish
• Spiders
• Spotted lanternflies
• Stink bugs
• Termites
• Ticks
• Wasps
• Water Bugs
• Yellow Jackets

While pest activity is generally higher in the warmer months, insects and rodents are present all year. The increasingly warm temperatures extending longer into the year also influence cold-dormant pests to stay active for longer periods. Ticks are one example of a pest that is increasing in range and active periods, heightening the risk of contracting tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease.
