Top Pest Problems in Morris County This Summer

Want a pest-free summer in Morris County? You’re not alone. As temperatures rise, pest activity explodes across our area—especially in towns with wooded lots, open fields, and suburban growth like Morristown, Roxbury, Chester, and Mendham.

Here’s what homeowners should watch out for this summer:

🐜 1. Ant Infestations in Kitchens and Walls

Carpenter ants and odorous house ants are the biggest offenders in Morris County.

• They’re drawn to moisture, crumbs, and even decaying wood.
• Once inside, they form large colonies that are tough to eliminate without professional help.

Pro tip: Keep food sealed and wipe down counters nightly. Still seeing activity? Call for treatment before it escalates.

🦟 2. Mosquitoes in Backyards and Near Wooded Areas

Towns like Randolph and Mendham are hotspots for mosquito activity thanks to tree cover and moisture-retaining landscapes.

• Mosquitoes lay eggs in standing water and thrive in shady, damp areas.
• Their presence can make it miserable to enjoy your yard in summer.

Hennebry offers targeted yard sprays and larvicide treatments that drastically reduce populations.

🐝 3. Wasp and Hornet Nests Near Rooflines and Decks

These stingers love to nest near eaves, porches, and deck furniture.

• Active wasp nests are more dangerous in June/July
• DIY removal can be risky without the right tools or training.

Leave this one to the pros. We remove nests safely and stop future rebuilds.

🐭 4. Rodents in Sheds, Garages, and Crawlspaces

While more common in fall, rodent activity rises in summer when they find gaps in sheds or garages.

• They’ll chew wires, leave droppings, and multiply quickly.
• We specialize in sealing access points and ongoing bait programs.
