Highlands, NJ Pest Control
Highlands is a small borough in Monmouth County that covers 1.39 square miles, with 0.74 square miles of land and 0.65 square miles of water. Its waterfront setting at the meeting point of Sandy Hook Bay and the Navesink River gives the town a distinctly maritime character.
The borough is home to landmarks such as the Navesink Twin Lights, a historic non-operational lighthouse and museum perched 246 feet above sea level, overlooking Sandy Hook Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Hartshorne Woods Park, a county park with 16 miles of trails, wooded hills, and a small beach, provides year-round recreation and natural habitat for wildlife.
The area’s humid subtropical climate features hot, humid summers and mild to cool winters. Its coastal wetlands, wooded hills, and high humidity create ideal conditions for pests like mosquitoes, ticks, ants, termites, rodents, and cockroaches. Excel’s Highlands pest control solutions are eco-friendly, discreet, and tailored to the area’s unique coastal environment.

Our Pest Control Services in Highlands, NJ
Highlands is part of Monmouth County pest control and with 46% of its area covered by water and its proximity to Sandy Hook Bay, the borough experiences frequent mosquito and biting midge problems. Trails and wooded slopes in Hartshorne Woods Park, along with local backyards, provide habitats for ticks and other woodland pests
Seasonal Pest Activity
Spring/Summer: Warm, humid weather fosters mosquitoes, ants, fleas, and termites. Ticks are highly active in shaded areas of Hartshorne Woods and residential yards.
Fall/Winter: Mice, rats, and cockroaches move indoors to escape cooler weather. Termites remain active in moist soils, and occasional invaders like spiders or stink bugs may appear.
Key Local Species
New Jersey’s three major tick species are the black-legged (deer) tick, lone star tick, and American dog tick. The Eastern Subterranean Termite is the state’s predominant termite species, nesting in soil and entering homes undetected through small cracks. Drywood and dampwood termites are rare in New Jersey but illustrate the importance of regular inspections for coastal homeowners.
Excel relies on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) which is made up of comprehensive inspections, identifying and correcting moisture issues, sealing entry points, applying low-toxicity treatments, and maintaining customized prevention plans for coastal homes, hillside neighborhoods, and waterfront businesses.
