Certified Technicians

Any exterminating business MUST be registered with the state of New Jersey and publicly post its business license number. Each of its technicians must be certified or work under the supervision of a certified pesticide applicator in one or more of 24 categories.

We employ only certified pesticide applicators

who are trained and experienced in different categories, including:

CORE (Safety Procedures)

7A (General Household Insects)

7B (Termite and Wood-Destroying Insects)

7D – (Food Processing)

3B – (Turf/Lawn/Weeds)

13 – (School IPM)

The above categories pertain to the home, business, commercial, and institutional facilities. C.O.R.E. is a safety-oriented test that involves the basics; 7A covers the identification of general household pests and the expanded use of pesticide labels; 7B covers termites and wood-destroying insects, termiticides, and construction types; 7D involves food processing, which means that the technician is certified to apply pesticides in manufacturing plants; 3B is for turf and lawn treatments that include insecticide use and weed control services.

There are several other categories we have not detailed here. Nevertheless, we strive to keep our techniques current as new technology, treatments, and methods are developed. Additionally, our technicians participate in continuing education regularly to keep their certifications up to date and in compliance with the New Jersey DEP requirements.

Free Inspection

With the exception of termite inspections, which require H.U.D. forms, we offer free inspections. Upon request, a certified technician will be sent to your residence or business to inspect the area, assess the problem, and discuss recommended treatment solutions.

Service charges are based on the size of the home or facility and the treatment needed. We also offer a standard contract for regularly scheduled maintenance for specific pests. For customers who do not need recurring pest control services, we offer an “on-call” option. Call us today to schedule an appointment.
