Its natural setting includes lakes, tidal creeks, and access to Barnegat Bay while the community’s signature green space is Manahawkin Lake Park.

Rainfall averages 44 inches annually, along with 13 inches of snow, 210 sunny days, and about 108 days of measurable precipitation. These warm, wet conditions, combined with marshland and wooded landscapes, create thriving environments for mosquitoes, ticks, ants, termites, rodents, and cockroaches.

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.

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’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.
