Old Bridge,
New Jersey
Exterminators

 

The Lenni Lenape Native Americans were the first to inhabit the area that is today known as Old Bridge, New Jersey. In 1684 it became part of South Amboy Township under the control of the English and separated into modern boundaries in 1869.

Agriculture was the main occupation until increasing populations pushed a building boom that began to replace farms. Harvesting slat hay, comprised of reed grass and cord grass and used as an insulating and packing material, was a regular activity from 1770 on. John and Susannah Brown were among the first settlers, receiving 1,000 acres of land from the King of England in 1737.

The Raritan River and Bay waterfront was used for transportation, trading routes, and as a source of fishing and recreation. Clay found along the riverbanks was also used to make bricks and pottery for the residents of Old Bridge and the surrounding areas. Commercial activity started dropping off when the railroad arrived in the mid-1800s. Around 1850, mills that produced gunpowder and paper products began to crop up, using nearby trains to ship goods to industrial areas. As far back as the early 1800s, farmers participated in an annual recreational trip to the shore known as Saltwater Day, where they would visit with neighbors, share food, and play in the sand and water.

The Relationship Between Old Bridge Weather Patterns and Pest Control Needs

Old Bridge has ideal weather conditions that, when combined with the nearby water features, including the shore, rivers, and streams, allow diverse species of flora and fauna to thrive in the area. The summers are humid and warm, spurring the growth of lush vegetation and providing plenty of food and shelter for pest populations to explode.

The abundance of bugs, rats, and mice makes it highly likely that your home or business could play host to some unwelcome guests if you aren’t vigilant with pest control and prevention. The threat of infestation doesn’t end with the onset of winter. Snow and cold temperatures increase the drive of these pests to get indoors. Some of the pests commonly found in Old Bridge include:

If you notice signs of pests, your best course of action is to call a professional exterminator to safely and effectively remove them from your property.

Dangers of Pests Inside Your Home or Business

Even the smallest pests can cause substantial damage to your property, resulting in costly repairs, ruined possessions, and even a halt to business operations. Insects and rodents are capable of chewing through furniture and fabrics, gnawing holes in your floors and walls, and starting a fire from damaged appliances or wires.

No one likes having mice, rats, or insects in their home or office. They deteriorate your comfort level and peace of mind while posing a genuine danger to your health. Many pests trigger allergies, and some carry diseases that can pass along to humans if you aren’t careful. These dangers are additional reasons you should seek the help of an expert instead of trying to fix the problem yourself. Some signs that you may have a pest problem include the following:

  • Actual sightings of pests or their droppings
  • Strange sounds in the walls and other hidden areas
  • Unpleasant and musky odors
  • Footprints and tracks
  • Nests
  • Property damage

Fast action is best to eradicate pests quickly, so contact an exterminator at the first signs they are present.
