Pest Identification and Information for New Jersey

Not sure what you found? Start with the insect, animal or evidence rather than choosing a treatment. A clear photograph, approximate size and the place it appeared can help narrow the question. A bite, scratching sound or damaged item alone may have several explanations.

The guides below cover identification clues, conditions that support activity and appropriate next steps. They can help you prepare for a conversation, although a photograph or general guide may not replace an inspection.

Record the pattern

In a home, note the room, nearby food or moisture and whether activity keeps returning. For a business or apartment building, record the date and exact location and identify who can provide access.

Take photographs from a safe distance without handling an unknown animal or disturbing a nest. Keep people and private documents out of the image. Details about where and when you found the evidence are often as useful as the image itself.
