Woodbury was founded in 1683 by Henry Wood, a Quaker from near Bury, Lancashire, who left England to escape religious persecution; the city’s name combines his surname and his hometown. It is the county seat of Gloucester County, and Broad Street shows it. The Broad Street Historic District takes in the Gloucester County Courthouse, and nearby stand the Woodbury Friends Meeting House, built in 1715 with an addition in 1785, and the Hunter-Lawrence-Jessup House, a 1765 home that now serves as the Gloucester County Historical Society museum. Inspira Health is based here, and Woodbury Creek runs along the edge of downtown. With about 10,000 people in just over two square miles, Woodbury is compact: older homes close together, twins and apartments, and a busy main street.
Common Pests in Woodbury
- Termites: Century-old framing, porches and sill plates in Woodbury’s older neighborhoods are exactly what subterranean termites look for.
- Mice and rats: In closely spaced homes, twins and older buildings, rodents travel through shared walls, basements and alleys.
- Cockroaches: Apartments, multi-unit buildings and restaurants can develop German cockroach problems that spread between units.
- Wildlife: Squirrels and raccoons take advantage of old chimneys, attic vents and gaps in historic rooflines.
- Mosquitoes and ants: Yards near Woodbury Creek see mosquitoes in summer, and ants are a constant in kitchens.
Pest Control Services in Woodbury
Our termite inspection and treatment service matters in a town this old: Ed inspects foundations, crawlspaces, sill plates and porches, looks for mud tubes and damaged wood, and only recommends treatment when there’s activity. Our rodent control service finds entry points, then traps, baits and seals them, and in twins and rowhomes we’ll explain when it makes sense to coordinate with a neighbor or landlord. For Broad Street shops, offices, restaurants and landlords, our commercial pest control service starts with a full inspection and a plan built around your building. We also provide residential pest control, mosquito and tick control, wasp nest removal, wildlife removal and event packages.
