Swedesboro packs a lot of history into well under a square mile. Settled by Swedish and Finnish colonists in the 1600s and first known as Raccoon, the borough grew up along Raccoon Creek and the old Kings Highway. Trinity Episcopal “Old Swedes” Church, built in 1784 on the site of a 1703 log church, still overlooks the creek. Later, Swedesboro was a busy tomato-shipping town. Today it’s a “doughnut town,” completely surrounded by Woolwich Township, where the area near Route 322 and Turnpike Exit 2 has become a major warehouse corridor. Swedesboro has also been recognized as a Tree City USA since 2000. Historic homes, mature trees, a creek, and a growing commercial base all bring their own pest problems.
Common Pests in Swedesboro
- Carpenter ants and termites: Mature shade trees, older homes, and moisture near Raccoon Creek create ideal conditions for carpenter ants and subterranean termites.
- Squirrels and other wildlife: A tree-lined town means squirrels in attics, raccoons in chimneys, and groundhogs under sheds.
- Mice and rats: Rodents move between homes, downtown storefronts, and the surrounding farmland, especially in the fall.
- Mosquitoes: Creek-side properties and yards with standing water see heavy mosquito activity in the warmer months.
- Commercial pests: Warehouses, loading docks, and food businesses attract rodents, flies, and cockroaches if they aren’t monitored.
