NJ Pest Directory exists because finding a legitimately certified pest control company shouldn't require digging through government spreadsheets. We do the digging and publish the result in a form homeowners can actually use.
Every listing is compiled from official public records — primarily the NJDEP Pesticide Applicator Business licence. We do not accept payment for inclusion, and we do not rank companies by who pays us.
Registry snapshot last retrieved: 2026-11-04. Certification status changes over time — always verify current status with the issuing agency before signing a contract.
New Jersey requires every business that applies pesticides for hire to hold a Pesticide Applicator Business licence from the NJDEP Bureau of Pesticide Control, and each business location must employ at least one licensed commercial pesticide applicator certified in each category of work it performs (for example 7A general and household pest control, or 7B termites). The licence year runs to October 31 and must be renewed every year. A licence is a legal requirement to operate, not a quality rating.
Certification means a company met the state's requirements to perform this work. It is not a guarantee of price, quality, or professionalism — get multiple quotes, ask for references, and confirm insurance.
Listing is free for every certified company, always. When homeowners request quotes through this site, we may refer each request to one licensed company serving the area, and companies may pay us for that referral service. Referral arrangements never affect who appears in the directory or how listings are ordered.
