The southern New Jersey climate and environment provide ideal conditions for Carpenter Ants. Statistics show your home is more likely to be damaged by carpenter ants than by fire or storm damage combined.
Spiders
ROSS treats all types of spiders. Call us or fill out the form on the right to have an expert evaluate your problem.
Termites
You may worry about a fire or storm damaging your home or business, but termite damage is far more likely to occur. Subterranean termites can eventually create the need for major structural repairs.
Bed Bugs
Our NEW! canine inspection team is the most accurate method of bed bugs detection currently available. And it only takes minutes for a trained canine to inspect a room.
Fleas
Exposure to contaminated rodent droppings and urine can put humans at risk for contracting these diseases. Additionally, rodents can transport disease-carrying fleas into your home.
Cockroaches
INTRODUCTION: The German cockroach is the most common of the cockroaches. In addition to being a nuisance, it has been implicated in outbreaks of illness, the transmission of a variety of pathogenic organisms and allergic reactions in many people. This species has worldwide distribution.
Silverfish
Silverfish are about 1/2-inch long with a uniform silvery color over the upper surface. They can be found almost anywhere, but prefer dark, moist places such as basements, kitchens, sinks, bathtubs, bookcases, closet shelves, behind baseboards, wallpaper, window or door frames, wall spaces, and sub-floors.
Bees
Bumblebees will sting readily in defense of the hive, but are not considered aggressive while feeding unless directly threatened. These bees can sting multiple times, and do not leave behind a stinger or venom sac. Nests are constructed in abandoned rodent or bird nests, large piles of loose mulch, or any similar sheltered area with enough insulating material.
Wasps
Hornet nests have a single opening, usually toward the bottom, where they enter and exit. It’s essential that the paper envelope of the nest not be broken during treatment, or the irritated wasps will scatter in all directions
Ticks
But you’re pressured by today’s environmental issues to reduce pesticide use in and around your facility. The Solution? Call ROSS today at 1-800-PEST-CONTROL and we’ll customize an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program for your business. IPM is a long-term strategy designed to keep pest population levels below desirable thresholds through inspections; sanitation recommendations; biological, mechanical and cultural controls; exclusion; and the judicious use of materials if necessary.
Crickets
Cricket infestations are generally seasonal. Problems by crickets most often occur in the fall as evenings become cooler and crickets enter buildings seeking warmth and shelter. They’re attracted to lights around a building at night. Crickets can cause damage to fabrics or other materials. In addition, they make a chirping sound that can be very annoying.
Earwigs
Earwigs got their name from the myth that they crawl into sleeping people’s ears and tunnel into their brains. The long cerci, or clippers, on their backsides easily identify an earwig.
Mosquitoes
There are 63 species of mosquitoes that live in New Jersey. While most simply pose a nuisance, others can spread devastating diseases such as West Nile virus and encephalitis. And your pets are at risk, too. Our Mosquito Shield Program offers the most comprehensive Mosquito Protection and Prevention Plan in New Jersey. Mosquito-borne diseases can be prevented by stopping mosquitoes with our three-pronged Integrated Pest management program, that includes...
Flies
Call ROSS today at 1-800-PEST-CONTROL and we’ll customize an environmentally responsible Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, specifically targeted to control fly populations. IPM for flies is a long-term strategy designed to keep pest levels below desirable thresholds through inspections, sanitation recommendations, biological, mechanical and cultural controls, exclusion, and the judicious use of materials if necessary.
Centipedes
Meet Amanda! Amanda is another lovely voice you will hear when you call into our main office. She is the niece of owners Harry & Colleen Ross, as well. She grew up close to the business here in Franklinville, NJ and graduated from Delsea High School. She has worked here and helped out with the business operations ever since she was 12 (we all know how that is in a family owned business)! She has been in every position there is to work within the company from Customer Service to Inspector. She has always been helping people solve their pest problems, whether it be in person or over the phone. She recognizes one of the most challenging aspects of her job on all ends was making sure those with respiratory issues are not exposed and put at risk by any material spraying we have to do. Even though Amanda is the one we call to save a snake or a bird from a glue board, she is not a fan of the centipedes! If you ever need a pop-culture reference, just ask Amanda! She is an ultimate movie buff! She enjoys crocheting and taking care of her little mini-me, Amelia.
Beetles
Following treatment, wait a day to ensure that the colony is destroyed, then scrape or knock down the nest. This will prevent secondary problems from carpet beetles, ants and other scavenging insects.
Hornets
Paper wasps, hornets and yellowjackets are a potential health threat. Hundreds of people in the United States die each year from allergic reactions to the venom of these insects. Wasps, hornets and yellowjackets are more dangerous and unpredictable than honeybees and should be treated with respect. Nests should be eliminated with great care and in a specific manner.
Yellow Jackets
Meet Jay! Jay is one of our Specialty Technicians, so he is an expert in all the services we offer. As a New Jersey native, Jay grew up in the Vineland/ Millville area and attended Millville Senior High School when he was younger. He has been with our company for over 6 months and since he loves working outside, with bugs and animals, this job is the perfect fit for him! In fact, when he was referred to us, he jumped on the opportunity to broaden his skills and learning. Jay’s worst pest enemy happens to be yellow jackets, but he always makes sure every last one of them is dealt with. Jay challenges himself by playing chess when he can. He also enjoys reading and gaming when he has the time. Not many know this, but Jay worked in the Security field for 10 years! Jay’s father also works with us, his name is Jim.
Moths
The indian meal moth was given its name after an insect scientist found it feeding on corn meal, also known as Indian meal. From wing tip to wing tip, adult moths measure from five-eighths of an inch to three-fourths of an inch long.
ROSS offers a diversified number of other environmentally responsible service options such as: Termite Control, Pest Control, Rodent Control, Bat Removal (eliminate biting bats), Green Pest Management and Handyman services. Contact us now!

Meet Harry! Harry Ross is the owner and President of Ross Environmental Solutions, Inc. He started the company in February 1992 – so we have been Family-Owned for 30 years! He grew up in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, graduated from Wissahickon Highschool, Montgomery County Community College and then went on to graduate from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. After working in the restaurant industry for years and after dealing with the pests that come with the trade, he decided he needed a change of pace and went on to work for two national Pest Control companies. After discovering he had a passion for pest control, he went on to open his very own business and that is what we have today! Since 1987, Harry has been in the industry but still does find joy in helping his customers and technicians solve the issues the have in their homes and out in the field. Although, he is as experienced as they come, Harry can’t seem to get used to one type of pest – snakes! As a certified entomologist, Harry can identify insects that are brought to him either by a technician or a curious customer. One of the most rewarding aspects of being the owner & president is that Harry gets to experience the growth of his employees not only on a professional level, but also on a personal level. Just like his wife, Colleen, Harry treats each employee like family. Knowing they are happy and treated well is one of his main goals as an employer. Harry remains honest and trustworthy, always putting his best foot forward for anyone in need – he once diagnosed a Dry Wood Termite issue for a home in Ocean City, NJ that was MISDIAGNOSED for 4 YEARS by other pest control companies!
Wildlife
Whether it’s a residential home or a 1 million square-foot industrial complex, let ROSS Environmental Solutions design the necessary wildlife control and/or exclusion program to suit your needs. Most species of wildlife do some sort of destruction to your home or business during their process of intrusion. Most property owners will ask why are they here, or why is this happening to me?
When you take advantage of one of ROSS’s ongoing Rodent programs, you have the peace of mind in knowing that if the rodents return, so do we and at no charge!
Mice
Rats
Meet Christian! Christian grew up in Clayton and graduated from Clayton High School. He has been in the pest industry for 7 years and has worked for our company for about 2 years. He services our Cape May County homes. Christian’s arch-nemesis of pests are ants and rats because they are pesky! Despite his dislike of those two persistent pests, Christian takes pride in treating for them and helping our customers with their problems when it comes to all their pest needs. You can find Christian bird watching in his spare time and spending time with his wife. A favorite hobby of his is photography and he is quite skilled with photo-editing!
Squirrels
Meet Rory! Rory joined the Ross household on 2018 after coming from Georgia to the Voorhees Animal Shelter. As a very good doggo, he graduated Obedience School in 2019 with flying colors and at the top of his class. He has been coming to work for 4 years with his mommy & daddy, first along with his partner, Bugsy, and now with his partner, Winston. Since Rory loves his mommy & daddy with all his heart, he has had no complaints about coming to work with them everyday (the free snacks and all his complimentary break time help, too)! Despite his love for his job, Rory does find it challenging to focus sometimes when he encounters squirrels... it is super frustrating never being able to actually catch them (one day though... one day). He always find the joy in life and always makes time for the little things though, like sleeping in his bed, sun bathing, chewing on his bones and toys. He also never forgets to play with his little brother Winston! Rory enjoys his days whether he is working or not – he always shows those around him unconditional love and he will always be the Ross’ fur baby (he’s still spoon-fed and always will be because every dog deserves to be spoiled).
