NEW JERSEY · IPM & MAINTENANCE PLANS
Integrated Pest Management for New Jersey Homes and Facilities
We inspect and monitor first, treat only where the monitoring shows a threshold has been crossed, and keep a written record of every visit — the same record a housing authority, school or property manager will ask to see.
Inspection and monitoring first

Written record of every visit
Is a maintenance plan worth it for you?
Five situations where recurring service outperforms calling only when something turns up.
You manage a multi-family building. Pest pressure moves between units through shared walls and plumbing chases, so one unit's problem rarely stays there.
You run a restaurant or food-service kitchen. Any health inspection is going to ask for pest-control documentation, not just a kitchen that looks clean that day.
You have a problem that comes back every year on schedule — mice moving indoors every fall, or cockroaches returning to the same kitchen line every summer.
You operate a facility that gets audited — a school, a housing authority building, a food-service kitchen under health-department inspection — and the checklist asks for pest-control records, not just an absence of pests that day.
You manage several buildings and want to inspect on a schedule you control, so no property goes six months between visits by accident.
What an IPM visit actually involves
No proprietary-sounding programme name. This is the actual sequence, whether the site is a single-family home or a forty-unit building.
Inspection and monitoring — we place and check monitors and inspect harbourage points before applying anything. The monitoring data drives every decision after this.
Thresholds — we treat when monitoring shows activity has crossed a level worth acting on, not on a fixed calendar regardless of what we find.
Non-chemical measures first — sanitation gaps, exclusion points and harbourage removal get addressed before any product goes down. Most of the reduction comes from closing entry points, not from spraying.
Targeted product, only where monitoring shows it is needed — applied to the specific harbourage or entry point, not broadcast across a room or building.
A written record of every visit — what we found, what we did, and what changed since the last visit, so the file shows a pattern over time instead of a series of disconnected calls.
What we need from you to set it up
Access to all units or areas on the schedule you choose. A plan where three units get skipped every visit isn't really a maintenance plan.
A contact who can tell us about recent construction, water intrusion or a new tenant move-in — anything that changes the risk since the last visit.
Follow-through on the sanitation and exclusion items we flag. Monitoring tells us where the pressure is; you control the food, water and entry points between visits.
Any existing pest-control records or complaint logs you already have, so we aren't starting the file from zero.
One point of contact for scheduling. For a property manager with several buildings, one person who can confirm access saves more time than any change to the treatment itself.
Documentation New Jersey buyers ask for
New Jersey requires a written record of every pesticide application — the product, its EPA registration number, active ingredients and the amount used — within 24 hours, kept on file for three years (five for termiticide), under N.J.A.C. 7:30-7.3. We keep that record whether the site is a house or a housing-authority building.
That written record is what a school, housing authority or municipal facility manager is actually asking for when they say they need pest-control documentation — not a certificate, a log.
For schools and public buildings, that record is what a facilities director needs to show a board, a state inspector or an auditor — and it's yours to request any time, not something we hand over only when asked.
If you're procuring pest control for a school, housing authority or municipal building, see Government & institutional (/government/) for how we handle that kind of buyer's procurement and paperwork.
This describes our record-keeping practice under New Jersey's applicator rule. Requirements vary by inspector and by facility — confirm your own documentation standard with your compliance officer.
Is it safe for children and pets?
Every product we apply is registered for the use we put it to, and every application is recorded — the product, its EPA registration number, its active ingredients and the amount mixed.
Because IPM treats only where monitoring shows a threshold has been crossed, most visits on a maintenance plan involve no product at all — inspection, monitoring and exclusion work make up most of what happens on a typical visit.
Where a label carries a restricted-entry interval, we tell you the exact time before the area can be used again, in writing, before we start.
Monthly, quarterly or annual
The right interval depends on the pressure at the site, not a package name. A restaurant kitchen or a multi-family building with a documented history usually needs monthly visits; a single-family home with a seasonal issue is often served by quarterly; a stable property with a clean record can move to an annual inspection with monitoring in between. We set the interval after the first inspection and adjust it as the monitoring changes.
We do not publish plan prices. Every job is priced after a free inspection — it depends on the size of the property, the number of units or areas, and the interval you choose.
Integrated pest management questions we get asked
What does "integrated pest management" actually mean, in practice?
Inspection and monitoring come first, non-chemical fixes come next, and product goes down only where monitoring shows a threshold has been crossed. It's a sequence, not a brand name.
How is a maintenance plan different from calling when we see something?
A maintenance plan puts monitors in place and inspects on a schedule, so a small population is caught before it becomes a visible problem. A one-off call happens after you've already seen it.
Can you provide documentation for a state or county inspection?
Yes. Every visit produces a written record, and that record is yours to request whenever you need it for an inspection, an audit or a board meeting.
Do you treat every visit, even if nothing is found?
No. If monitoring shows nothing has crossed a threshold, the visit is inspection and monitoring only. Treating on a fixed schedule regardless of findings isn't integrated pest management — it's a spray schedule.
We manage several buildings — can one plan cover all of them?
Yes. We can put each building on its own schedule under one point of contact, so the file for each property stays separate but the scheduling and billing don't.
Do your technicians speak Spanish?
Yes. Our crew is bilingual, and for a facility with staff who speak Spanish first, we can walk through the inspection findings and the written record in Spanish as well as English.
Set up a plan before the next audit, not during it.
Call and we'll do the first inspection, tell you what the monitoring will look like at your property, and set an interval. There's no cost for that first look. Browse the rest of what we do at /services/.
