Professional Pests Control

West Milford is the largest municipality in the Garden State. Covering 80 square miles, it’s packed with Mother Nature’s beauty, offering mountains, woods, and waterways. Pests are frequently spotted both indoors and outdoors.

West Milford’s Mountainous Lands and Wild History

West Milford lays claim to being the largest municipality in New Jersey; it covers over 80 square miles and offers a scenic spectrum of streams, mountains, woods, and open space. The population isn’t especially high, with only 25,000 residents, which allows the town to preserve its rural roots without sacrificing the convenience of living near big-city opportunities. Lakes are especially prominent and a major draw for outdoor lovers and nature seekers; here, you’ll find everything from paddleboarding, boating, and swimming to waterside dining. Several state parks are partially inside the town’s boundaries, including Long Pond Ironworks State Park, Abram S. Hewitt State Forest, and Wawayanda State Park. 

The town enjoys a varied and colorful history; it was even home to the short-lived Warner Bros. Jungle Habitat, a 1970s drive-thru safari park with 1500 animals (including lions, tigers, and baboons) climbing on cars while signs warned visitors to stay in their vehicles. Today, the municipality focuses on farmers’ markets, holiday events, youth sports, outdoor exploration, and environmental programs. However, wild animals still leave their mark; black bears, bobcats, bald eagles, turkeys, coyotes, and white-tailed deer are frequently spotted.

Biting Bedfellows, Odorous Offenders, and Tree Tyrants

West Milford offers an inviting space for mingling pests. Seasonal and year-round species are common, with rodents, insects, and arachnids frequently entering homes and businesses.

Bed bugs aren’t always found in beds; they can commandeer couches, hide in outlets, and disappear into cracks in walls. Infestations are sometimes difficult to detect because bed bugs emerge for only a few minutes each night to feed. Bites on your arms or legs, allergic reactions, or eggs inside your sheets frequently indicate an issue.

Stink bugs emit odors when squished, living up to their name and teaching you not to squash them. They’re able to emit these less-than-pleasant smells when living, too; they use their nose-tickling talents to ward off predators and communicate fear. Although you might find a wayward crawly any time of year, they’re most common in the fall . . . entering homes and buildings for warmth and shelter.

Clover mites aren’t as scary as spiders, but they’re related to them. A fairly well-behaved pest, these mites don’t bite, feed on blood, or destroy structures. Nonetheless, their unique reproduction is problematic; as an all-female species, they reproduce without mates, allowing a single mite to turn into a sky’s-the-limit infestation.

Springtails are one of the most abundant creatures on Earth; they’re even among the few living things that can thrive in Antarctica. True to their name, they spring, using a fork-like appendage underneath their abdomen to catapult themselves into the air. Like clover mites, they won’t bite or chew on your attic rafters, but they might congregate in large numbers in the soil (reaching into the millions in some cases).

Spotted lanternflies are recent additions to West Milford’s pest population; they’ve only been documented in the Garden State since 2018. Their name can be a bit confusing, as they’re not flies; they’re a type of planthopper with bright red hindwings (while these wings aren’t strictly for display only, spotted lanternflies aren’t strong flyers). This destructive species is dangerous to trees, vineyards, and orchards; they excrete a mold-inducing honeydew that is the bane of botanists.
