Glassboro has always been a town of comings and goings. Glassmaking started here in 1779, when the Stanger brothers set up a glass works in the woods, a heritage still preserved at the Heritage Glass Museum on High Street. Today the town is defined by Rowan University, from Rowan Boulevard to Hollybush Mansion, where President Johnson and Soviet Premier Kosygin held the 1967 Glassboro Summit. With thousands of students moving in and out every year, Glassboro has a large stock of rental housing, and the borough has even created a student-housing overlay zone near Rowan along parts of Carpenter and North Main Streets. Frequent turnover, shared walls, and furniture that moves from house to house all create real pest pressure.
Common Pests in Glassboro
- Bed bugs: Used mattresses, couches, and luggage move between apartments, dorms, and rental houses. Bed bugs travel with them, and turnover season is when problems spread.
- Cockroaches: German cockroaches thrive in busy kitchens and multi-unit buildings, and they can move between connected units.
- Mice: Older rental houses near campus, with gaps around pipes, foundations, and basement doors, are easy targets once the weather cools.
- Ants and spiders: Odorous house ants, pavement ants, and spiders are steady complaints in both student rentals and family homes.
- Termites: Like the rest of South Jersey, Glassboro’s older housing stock is exposed to subterranean termites.
Pest Control Services in Glassboro
We offer residential pest control for homeowners and tenants and commercial pest control for landlords, property managers, and the restaurants and shops that serve Glassboro. For rental owners, we can help between leases, when a vacant unit is easiest to inspect and treat. We also provide termite inspections and treatments, wildlife removal (inspection, trapping and monitoring, removal, and remediation), and event packages for both indoor gatherings and outdoor parties. The outdoor package covers inspection, mosquito and ant hill treatment, and a general application, timed 1–3 days before your event.

Glassboro Pest Control FAQ
Do you work with landlords and property managers near Rowan?
Yes. We service rental houses and multi-unit buildings and can schedule treatments around tenant move-outs and move-ins.
How do I know if I have bed bugs?
Look for small rust-colored spots on sheets and mattress seams, shed skins, or itchy bites in a line. If you suspect bed bugs, call us for an inspection before moving furniture to another room or house.
