Pest Control Harrison, NJ — Exterminator for Old Blocks and New Waterfront Buildings

Exterminator in Harrison, NJ: two towns in one

Harrison sits on the Passaic River across from downtown Newark, with Kearny on its other side and tiny East Newark tucked against its northern edge. For most of its history it was a factory town of tightly packed two-family houses, row houses and corner stores. Over the last couple of decades, the old industrial land near the river and the PATH station has filled in with new apartment buildings, and Red Bull Arena brings crowds on game days.

That gives Harrison two very different kinds of pest work. The older blocks have century-old wood framing, stone or brick foundations and shared walls — mice, rats, water bugs and termites. The new buildings are sealed and modern, but hundreds of apartments sharing trash rooms, hallways and plumbing make roaches and bed bugs the bigger issue.

We handle both, and we tailor the plan to the building you're in.

Pest control in older Harrison homes vs. new apartment buildings

Where you live in Harrison changes which pests you're likely to see — and how we treat them:

Renting? Read pest control for renters. Managing a building? See landlord and tenant pest control.

Termites in Harrison's older houses

Subterranean termites live in the soil all over Hudson County, and Harrison's older frame houses — with wood sills sitting on old foundations and wooden porches and steps — are exactly what they look for. Signs include mud tubes on basement walls, swarms of winged insects near windows on a warm spring day, and soft spots in floors or trim.

We inspect, treat and repair the damage ourselves: sill plates, joists, beams and framing. Same-day termite inspections are often available, and we provide VA / NPMA-33 wood-destroying insect reports for home sales.

Ants, wasps, wildlife and mosquitoes in Harrison

Harrison doesn't have a separate page for these yet, so here's the short version with our New Jersey guides:

• Ants: small ants on kitchen counters in spring, carpenter ants in damp old wood. We find the nest and use baits — see ant control.
• Wasps and bees: paper wasps under porch roofs, yellow jackets in siding. We treat nests; honey bees are relocated with a local beekeeper — see bee and wasp removal.
• Squirrels, raccoons and pigeons: one-way doors and sealing for attics, bird netting for ledges and balconies. We don't trap and relocate — see wildlife removal.
• Mosquitoes and ticks: yard and patio treatments near the river; mosquito treatment from $95 plus tax — see mosquito control.
• Dead animals: we remove dead animals and do odor control — see dead animal removal.
