Pest Control in Bergen County NJ: What to Expect Each Season
Bergen County homeowners face a full spectrum of pest pressure throughout the year. Here's what to expect — and when to call.
Spring: Ants and Stinging Insects (March–May)
Spring is ant season in Bergen County. As soil temperatures rise, pavement ant and odorous house ant colonies emerge and begin foraging indoors. Paramus, Fair Lawn, Hackensack, and Englewood generate high ant complaint volumes each spring. Spring also marks the beginning of yellow jacket and paper wasp colony establishment.
Summer: Mosquitoes and Wasps (June–August)
Properties in Upper Saddle River, Woodcliff Lake, and Mahwah near wetland areas see significant mosquito pressure. Wasp colonies reach their maximum size in late summer — a mature yellow jacket nest in August can contain 3,000–5,000 workers.
Fall: Stink Bugs and Rodents (September–November)
Brown marmorated stink bugs begin seeking overwintering sites in September. Homes with sun-facing walls in Ridgewood, Ho-Ho-Kus, and Glen Rock are frequently invaded. Fall is also when mouse and rat pressure increases dramatically.
Winter: Rodents and Cockroaches (December–February)
Winter pest pressure in Bergen County is dominated by rodents in northern Bergen suburbs and cockroaches in the commercial corridors of Hackensack, Fort Lee, and Paramus.
