Montgomery,
New Jersey
Exterminators

Montgomery Township is located in the southern part of Somerset County, New Jersey, and is part of the New York Metropolitan Area. The area was originally inhabited by the Lenni Lenape Native American tribe before European settlers, particularly the Dutch, began to settle there in the early 1700s. It was incorporated as a township on February 21, 1798.

Much of the fertile land was worked for farming and orchards, or used as animal pastures. These agricultural pursuits continued as the main industry until practices shifted more toward specializations like poultry and dairy farms or fruit orchards by the late nineteenth century. Today, Montgomery Township has fewer farms and more business parks and residential areas that support the growing population.

Local Weather Patterns Impact on Pests

Montgomery County, NJ enjoys a varied climate with hot summers and cold winters. The warm and humid weather during the summer months provides plentiful resources for pests to thrive in. These populations then look for indoor shelter come winter, causing them to seek entry into your home or business. Once pests make their way inside they can establish themselves and won’t leave again even when the weather improves. Some species common to New Jersey include:

• Ants
• Bed bugs
• Bees
• Beetles
• Centipedes
• Cockroaches
• Fleas
• Flies
• Mice
• Millipedes
• Mites
• Mosquitoes
• Moths
• Rats
• Silverfish
• Stink bugs
• Termites
• Ticks
• Wasps
• Water bugs
• And more!

Pests can cause costly damage, health problems, and emotional discomfort, so it’s important to take the necessary steps to keep them out of your home or business.

Pest Prevention Strategies

Understanding how and why pests may enter your property can help you protect it against an infestation. Take action by inspecting your home inside and out and taking these steps:

• Store food in sealed containers
• Place food scraps and garbage in tightly covered bins
• Remove indoor clutter and keep your home clean
• Seal any gaps or cracks in the foundation, walls, or around doors and windows
• Clear away yard refuse and debris that can offer shelter to pests
• Keep your grass, trees, and shrubs trimmed and manicured
• Eliminate areas of standing water in your yard and don’t let it collect on outdoor furniture or play equipment

These DIY methods can help protect your home or business from the threat of a pest invasion, but the best strategy is to contact the professionals for expert pest control targeted at the species living in your area, as well as your specific problems.
