Little Ferry: A Tight-Knit, Working-Class Community

Little Ferry is an aptly named New Jersey town with a history in transportation; the borough once played a significant role in moving commuters and goods across the Hackensack River and back again. While it has evolved from a compact crossing point into a working-class haven, it’s a city forever shaped by waterways and wetlands. It feels different from adjacent towns . . . hillier, greener, and more vulnerable to flooding. Low-lying banks, river channels, and tidal marshes have all influenced the area’s development, paving the way for a tight-knit, affordable, and nature-loving community.

Today, it’s industrial but not overwhelmingly so. Pockets of suburbia are peppered among warehouses, eateries, small businesses, and transportation routes. Its proximity to larger cities and strategic location near several major highways make it accessible to commuters who want to live far away from the office. The people who prosper here tend to be laid-back, unpretentious, and genuine; they focus on family, resilience, and hard work rather than the glitz and glamor of nearby Manhattan.

The Disease-Spreading Ways of Pests

Like so many towns in New Jersey, Little Ferry has a big pest problem!

Mice come in multiples; where there is one mouse, there are often generations. Their quick reproductive patterns, athleticism, and ability to get in through seemingly impossible cracks benefit their species while harming ours. Mice aren’t only dirty and unhygienic but also disease spreaders. The particular diseases they transmit depend on where they’re located in the US. Some spread hantavirus, some spread lymphocytic choriomeningitis, and some spread leptospirosis, among other icky illnesses. In New Jersey, mice are most likely to spread salmonellosis by contaminating food and surfaces.

Rats also spread disease; in fact, some of history’s greatest plagues can be blamed, in part, on rat populations. The Bubonic Plague, for instance, is attributed to rats, although fleas were involved, too. Today, rats are most likely to spread salmonellosis, leptospirosis, and rat-bite fever. Cockroaches are vectors of pathogens as well. They spread all kinds of unsanitary things across Little Ferry kitchen floors, counters, and cabinets, contaminating everything in their paths. They’ll even contaminate forks and spoons if they enter the utensil drawer.

Ticks tick people off because of their particularly potent disease-spreading habits. Certain species spread Lyme disease, the most common vector-borne illness in the US. Ticks can also spread Rocky Mountain spotted fever, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and a handful of other hard-to-pronounce illnesses.

Mosquitoes are the most dangerous animal of all and the deadliest in human history due to their spreading of malaria, West Nile, Zika, yellow fever, and dengue fever. They’re also, perhaps, the hardest insects to avoid; they can infect you when you’re sitting on your back deck, hiking the hills, or waiting in line at an amusement park. In other words, the world isn’t just their oyster; it’s their buffet! Fortunately, you can lower your risk somewhat by wearing long pants and sleeves, applying insect repellent, and avoiding areas around standing water at peak hours (namely dusk).
