Upper Deerfield Township, just north of Bridgeton, is where Charles F. Seabrook built Seabrook Farms, which Life magazine called the “largest vegetable factory on Earth” in 1955. From 1944 to 1947, about 2,500 Japanese Americans released from wartime incarceration camps came here to work, and they were joined over the years by Japanese Peruvians, European refugees and migrant workers from the South and the Caribbean. The Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center, founded in 1994, preserves that history. Farming is still the backbone of the township: the Rutgers Agricultural Research and Extension Center, which focuses on crop protection and integrated pest management, is located here. Communities like Seabrook Farms, Carlls Corner, Silver Lake, Sunset Lake and Seeley are spread across about 31 square miles of fields, woods and lakes. That much agriculture shapes the pests people deal with.
Common Pests in Upper Deerfield & Seabrook
- Mice and rats: Fields, packing and storage buildings, and grain draw rodents, and they move into homes when crops come in and the weather cools.
- Mosquitoes: Sunset Lake, Seeley Lake, irrigation ponds and wet woods give mosquitoes plenty of breeding water.
- Flies and stinging insects: Barns, equipment sheds and outbuildings attract flies, wasps and yellowjackets.
- Wildlife: Groundhogs, raccoons and skunks are common where farmland meets backyards.
- Termites: Subterranean termites are active throughout Cumberland County, especially in older farmhouses and outbuildings.

Upper Deerfield & Seabrook Pest Control FAQ
Do you cover Seabrook, Carlls Corner and the lake communities?
Yes. We serve all of Upper Deerfield Township, including Seabrook Farms, Carlls Corner, Silver Lake, Sunset Lake and Seeley.
Can you set up service for a farm or packing building?
Yes. We inspect the site, look at doors, storage and waste areas, and build a monitoring and treatment plan for your facility.
Why do mice show up every fall?
Harvest removes cover and food in the fields right as nights get cold, so mice look for shelter in nearby buildings. Sealing entry points before fall helps a lot.
