Our Pest Control Services in Manahawkin, NJ
Manahawkin falls under Excel’s Ocean County pest control operations and as the area is a blend of freshwater lakes, tidal creeks, and wooded neighborhoods, it offers the ideal conditions for pests.
At Manahawkin Lake Park, family recreation combines with standing water that breeds mosquitoes and ants. Wetlands and tidal creeks connected to Barnegat Bay provide habitats for ticks, biting flies, and occasional nuisance wildlife. Pine Barrens woodlands support carpenter ants and spiders, while older homes and commercial properties near the waterfront attract rodents and cockroaches.
Seasonal Pest Patterns
Spring and Summer: High humidity and rainfall drive mosquito, ant, flea, and termite populations. Ticks are active along lake paths, playgrounds, and wooded trails. Stinging insects build nests under eaves, in attics, and in outdoor equipment.
Fall and Winter: Cooler weather and seasonal storms push rodents and cockroaches indoors. Basements, garages, and attics become prime habitats. Termites remain active year-round in moist soils, while stink bugs and spiders often appear as occasional invaders.
Pest Concerns in Manahawkin
Ticks: New Jersey has three disease-transmitting ticks. These are the black-legged (deer) tick, lone star tick, and American dog tick. These ticks remain active from spring through late fall, especially around wooded trails and marshes.
Termites: The Eastern Subterranean Termite is the most destructive wood-destroying insect in New Jersey. Nesting in soil, it builds mud tubes into foundations and wooden structures. Drywood and dampwood termites are rare but may be introduced through infested materials.
Rodents & Cockroaches: Older lakeside properties and waterfront restaurants often experience rodent and cockroach activity, particularly after storms or during cooler months.
Excel relies on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to address these risks. This method combines thorough inspections, sealing entry points, moisture control, and targeted low-toxicity treatments, delivering effective pest control tailored to Manahawkin’s waterfront homes, condominiums, and local businesses.

What our clients are saying about us
John Maher is a fantastic rep and everyone should have him! John has been providing service to our Home since we joined about a year ago. He has been open to listening and offering helpful suggestions!
Stephanie was exceptional. She was thorough, pleasant and professional. I would recommend Excel and Stephanie.
Stefany was very thorough in checking my home for pests and points of entry. She was very understanding of my fears and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and safe from any unwanted guests
Great experience with this company so far. We used another big name pest service for a couple of years and it was such a headache to reach anyone and get them to actually provide the services we were paying for. Stefany came for our initial service yesterday and we were pleasantly surprised by the time and care she took with our house. Getting in touch with questions and concerns has also been a much better experience with Excel than with our previous pest services company. We’re so glad we made the switch.
We are long time customers and Excell pest service always does a really good job. In any business, its the people that makes you great… special shout out to Stefany who always does an excellent job. Takes time to address our concerns and follows up as needed. Her work shows she cares…. thanks Stefany!!
Stephanie is beyond Excellent! We are very happy with her service. She goes above and beyond. I will always request Stephanie to service us.
We’ve been with Excel for 5, nearly 6 years now and have never had a bad experience. Jay and Jon are particularly spectacular. They’re always incredibly knowledgeable and quick with their service when here. They always make sure to answer any questions we have, especially when it comes to spraying anything in or around the house being that we have kids and cats. I highly recommend Excel if they service your area.

David was amazing and took the time to explain why services he provided and what steps we need for preventive measures
David Dacosta, like the rest of the team at Excel was incredibly professional and hard working. Recommend this team 7 days per week.
Excel has been keeping us pest free and the monthly visits are a really important part of that. David quickly assessed the grounds and replaced bait where there was a need. The email report arrives shortly after and you can have a record of what was done and any information about pest activity. We continue to be very happy with the service they provide!
