Mullica Hill is two places at once. At its heart is a historic village: the Mullica Hill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, takes in 136 contributing buildings, most of them wood-frame, lining a mile-long Main Street that drops down steep slopes to Raccoon Creek. Around it, Harrison Township’s old farm fields have steadily given way to newer housing developments. Add the Gloucester County 4-H Fairgrounds on Route 77 and the antique shops along Main Street, and you get a community where 18th-century timber framing, creek-side yards, and brand-new construction all sit within a few miles of each other. Each one attracts its own pests.
Common Pests in Mullica Hill
- Termites and carpenter ants: Historic frame homes and outbuildings near the creek have old wood, moisture, and plenty of hidden voids. Termites and carpenter ants can work for years before anyone notices damage.
- Mice: Mice move from surrounding fields into homes every fall, and new developments that border farmland are just as exposed as the old village.
- Mosquitoes: Raccoon Creek and low, wet spots in backyards give mosquitoes a head start each summer, which is a problem if you want to use your yard in the evening.
- Ticks: Yards that edge woods, hedgerows, and remaining open land put families and pets in tick territory.
- Stink bugs, spiders, and ants: Fall invaders like stink bugs pile onto sunny siding, while ants and spiders are a constant in both older and newer homes.

Why Mullica Hill Chooses Zero Pests
Zero Pests is a veteran-owned, South Jersey company founded in 2025. Ed Newton, our owner-operator, has more than 23 years of pest control experience, including time with large national companies, and he started Zero Pests to offer what the chains often don’t: honesty, fair pricing, and a real person who picks up the phone. We’re licensed by New Jersey (pesticide license #92354B) and use eco-friendly products. In an older home, we also know to look beyond the obvious: sill plates, crawlspaces, porches, and the places where additions meet the original structure.
