Union: A Beautiful, Blossoming Borough
While Union, New Jersey sounds like it could be tied to the Civil War, it’s linked to the Revolution, instead: The Battle of Connecticut Farms was fought within the township’s boundaries. Like many boroughs in the county, this city was born from agricultural roots before transportation, in the form of the railroad, took over. It expanded into a suburban oasis in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Important landmarks pop up all over, including Kean University, Liberty Hall Museum, Route 22, shopping centers, and commercial corridors. This isn’t to say it sacrifices its hometown charm: Cultural diversity, rich cuisine, and neighborhood get-togethers draw locals and visitors while the sound of laughter, the cracks of baseball bats, and the call of songbirds fill the air on lazy summer afternoons. Balancing historical depth, diverse experiences, and friendly people, this borough continues to blossom.
Pests, Nests, and Messes
Various pests thrive in New Jersey and throughout the East Coast. They find all sorts of places to hide, breed, and feed in Union and the surrounding areas.
Ants are especially hard to get rid of because they create satellite colonies and protect their queens at all costs, ensuring continuous reproduction. They’re a highly intelligent collective system as well, and come in all kinds of varieties. Carpenter ants spend their time excavating wood to build nests and tunnels, army ants create living bridges and rafts with their own bodies to survive floods and other environmental threats, sugar ants are sweet on your pantry and love it when you drop a few glucose-laden granules on the floor or counter.
Beetles make up nearly 40% of insects on Earth and include things like ladybugs (fun fact: Ladybugs aren’t actually bugs!). Beetles have evolved over millions of years and know how to survive; some can even be frozen solid and thaw back to life. Infestations are common in carpets and upholstery, wood, and pantries. Like pantry moths, beetle infestations are sometimes brought into Union homes inadvertently from the grocery store.
Bedbugs, as their name implies, prefer your bedroom over your kitchen. These parasitic creatures feast on your blood as you sleep, turning your REM cycle into their BBQ. They’re attracted to certain body odors, which makes some people more delicious than others, and they can smell carbon dioxide from over 30 feet away. Bedbugs have also become resistant to many types of insecticides, which is why their removal requires other options and professional assistance.
