Why New Jersey Has Some of the Highest Pest Pressure in America
New Jersey has one of the highest pest control demands in the country due to its dense population, older housing stock, and position between New York and Philadelphia — two of the top 15 bed bug cities nationally. New Jersey sits in USDA Termite Zone 2 with moderate to heavy termite activity statewide, particularly in South Jersey counties. The state's Meadowlands wetlands and extensive waterway network also create significant mosquito pressure. In low-income apartments across four New Jersey cities, bed bug infestation rates range from 3.8% to 29.5%.
All pest control companies in New Jersey must be licensed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). Pesticide applicators must hold a New Jersey Pesticide Applicator License in the appropriate category. Verify any company's license at nj.gov/dep/enforcement/pcp before hiring, and ask for proof of liability insurance and a written treatment plan. New Jersey tenants also have significant legal protections under the State Sanitary Code requiring landlords to maintain rental properties free from pest infestations.
