Burlington Exterminator & Pest Control Services
#1 Local Pest Control in Burlington County, New Jersey
Green Pest Solutions is the exterminator and pest control company for Burlington, NJ, covering both Burlington City and Burlington Township. Between the two there are roughly 35,000 residents, and we have years of service history across both. Mice are the pest we treat most often here, and our own service records in 08016 show it.
Mice are the number one pest our technicians find in Burlington.
They come up more than twice as often as anything else. Ants are second, wasps and bees third. What makes Burlington different is where the mice come from: our records here are full of shared walls. Duplexes with mice in both units. Mice arriving from a neighbor. That is a City problem more than a Township one, and it changes the treatment.
What We Actually Find in Burlington
Below is what our service records show for Burlington, as a share of the visits where a technician named a specific pest.
Green Pest Solutions internal service records in ZIP code 08016, which covers both Burlington City and Burlington Township. Bar length is scaled to the largest value. A single visit can name more than one pest, so shares add to more than 100 percent.
Burlington City and Burlington Township Are Two Different Jobs
They share a name, a ZIP code and a border, and almost nothing else that matters to a pest technician. We service both, and we do not treat them the same way.
Rodent Control in Burlington, NJ
Mice are 43 percent of our named pest calls here, which makes rodent work the single biggest thing a Burlington exterminator does in this ZIP code. The reason is structural, and our records say it plainly:
- "duplex home, they have mice in both units"
- "mice coming from neighbor"
- One customer had us treat her rental unit for mice, then her own home next door so it would not spread
- "mice in the warehouse, needs traps"
Mice here also do not have a season. We logged mouse activity in eleven of the twelve calendar months in Burlington, with no real peak. That is unusual. Most towns show a fall and winter spike as mice move indoors. Here the pressure is constant, which is the single best argument for a year round program over a one time visit.
A mouse needs an opening about the width of a pencil. In an attached home, the wall you share with the neighbor is a highway, and the utility chase that runs behind both kitchens is the on ramp. That is why rodent control in Burlington City means inspecting the shared wall line, the basement sill, and every utility penetration, not just setting traps where you saw the droppings.
In the Township the pattern flips to exterior pressure: garage door sweeps, crawl space vents, sheds and detached garages, and the tree line behind newer developments. Same pest, different route in, so our year round program keeps bait stations on the exterior perimeter and monitors them season to season. Rat control follows the same logic at a larger scale, with burrow treatment and exterior stations sized for the animal.
Ant Control in Burlington
Ants are second at 19 percent, and the split matters. Odorous house ants trail along counters, baseboards and dishwasher lines in large numbers and do no structural damage. Carpenter ants excavate galleries in damp framing, porch posts and window headers, and they get mistaken for termites constantly because both swarm in spring. In older City housing stock that distinction is the whole job.
Ant control services in Burlington start with finding the nest. Our notes include ants in a kitchen and basement, carpenter ants in a laundry room, ants coming in after mulch was pulled back from the foundation, and carpenter ants inside a Route 130 store. Nest location is the job here, not a baseboard spray, and the Green Band barrier is what keeps the next colony from walking back in.
Wasp, Bee and Hornet Control in Burlington
Wasps and bees are third at 18 percent, and Burlington breaks the statewide pattern. Across New Jersey most stinging insect activity lands in July, August and September. Here our calls cluster in April and May, and carpenter bees are nearly four in ten of them. That tracks with the housing stock: carpenter bees drill into unpainted or weathered trim, fascia, porch posts and deck rails, and Burlington has plenty of it. They return to the same wood every spring, and woodpeckers widen the galleries chasing the larvae.
So the right time to treat carpenter bees in Burlington is before they emerge. Our wasp control and stinging insect service covers all of them:
- Carpenter bees in trim, fascia, deck rails and porch ceilings. Spring is the window.
- Yellow jackets in ground nests and wall voids, aggressive in late summer. One of our Burlington records is a homeowner who had a window replaced and started seeing yellow jackets get in around the new frame.
- Paper wasps under eaves, railings, grills and mailboxes. Calm until the nest is bumped.
- Bald faced hornets in the grey paper footballs, and they defend a wider radius than wasps do.
- Cicada killers, which are enormous, alarming and essentially harmless. We tell people so rather than selling a treatment they do not need.
- Honeybees, which are worth saving. We identify them and point you to a local beekeeper.
A nest inside a wall void or an underground yellow jacket colony is not a do it yourself job. Wasp control services in Burlington are available same day on most requests placed before 1 PM.
Flea and Tick Treatment in Burlington
Fleas and ticks are 11 percent of our named pest calls here, and Burlington is the only town in our Burlington County records where they register at all. That is a real local signal, and it comes with a warning attached: our notes include more than one customer who needed a second flea treatment.
Fleas are the pest most likely to come back after a single visit, because eggs and pupae in carpet, bedding and pet areas hatch on their own schedule. Our records here read exactly that way, including "fleas treatment again" and "fleas in mrs home from pets." Two things make the difference:
- The follow up is scheduled at the first visit, not after the fleas reappear.
- Your vet handles the pet, we handle the house. Treating one without the other is how people end up on their third round.
Ticks are the yard side of the same problem, and the Township's larger lots and tree lines are where we see them. Perimeter and yard treatment is part of the program here, not an add on.
Cockroach and Bed Bug Control in Burlington
Cockroaches are 13 percent and bed bugs 7 percent, and both concentrate in the City's attached housing for the same reason mice do. Our notes include a landlord and tenant situation where mice were coming from the neighbor, a second story unit bed bug treatment, and a repeat bed bug visit with a two week follow up.
Cockroach control and bed bug control both live or die on preparation, so we send a prep sheet before the appointment and book the follow up at the same time as the first visit. If you are a landlord here, treating one unit and skipping the neighbors is how a single unit problem becomes a building problem.
Termite Control in Burlington, NJ
Termites are only 3 percent of what we find here, but fewer than one in a hundred Burlington homes we service carries termite protection. Eastern subterranean termites are established across South Jersey, and the damage stays hidden until it is expensive. Every program tier includes a free annual termite inspection.

Commercial Pest Control in Burlington, NJ
Burlington Township carries the Route 130 corridor and the warehouse and retail footprint that comes with it, and it shows up in our book. Our own notes include mice in a warehouse and carpenter ants inside a store.
Commercial work here runs on a monthly or quarterly schedule rather than the residential program, with service documentation you can hand an inspector. We cover warehouses, retail, restaurants, offices, industrial space and multi unit residential. See commercial pest control for facility types and to request a quote.
Why Burlington Customers Switch to Us
More than one hundred of our New Jersey accounts came to us from another exterminator or pest control company. We are not going to name them, but the pattern in those notes is consistent: the pest kept coming back, or the previous company would not deal with it at all.
The Burlington example is a carpenter bee job. The customer had a national chain on contract, and per our own service note, that company did not handle carpenter bees. That is not an unusual gap. Carpenter bees are drilling into wood, which makes them a wood destroying insect job, and a lot of general pest routes skip them or treat the surface and move on.
Two things we do differently, and both are visible in the records on this page:
- We identify before we treat. Carpenter ant or termite, honeybee or yellow jacket, German or American cockroach. The wrong identification costs you a season.
- The follow up is booked at the first visit. Fleas, bed bugs and shared wall mice all need a second look, and we schedule it instead of waiting for you to call back annoyed.
And if pests come back between visits, so do we, as many times as it takes, at no extra cost.

Common Questions
Do you serve both Burlington City and Burlington Township?
Yes, both, plus the surrounding 08016 area. Same crew, same pricing. The inspection differs: attached City homes get a shared wall and utility chase inspection, Township homes get a full exterior perimeter and yard assessment.
How much does an exterminator cost in Burlington, NJ?
One time treatments start at $325. Year round programs start at $57.95 per month. Termite and bed bug work is quoted after inspection, and every estimate is free.
Do you offer same day pest control in Burlington?
Yes, on most requests placed before 1 PM.
My neighbor has mice and now I do. What can you actually do?
Treat your side properly and seal your side of the shared wall. We inspect the utility chase, sill plate and any penetration you share, place exterior bait around your structure, and give you a written list of the openings we find. We cannot treat a neighbor's unit without their agreement, but we can make yours the hard target.
When should I treat for carpenter bees in Burlington?
Spring, before they emerge and start drilling. Our local calls cluster in April and May, and treating in late summer only addresses damage that is already done.
Why does my flea treatment need a follow up?
Flea eggs and pupae in carpet and bedding hatch on their own timeline, so a single visit kills what is active and not what is coming. We book the follow up at the first appointment.
