Why Hiring A Trusted New Jersey Pest Control Expert Is Important

The improper use of pesticides should not be taken lightly as the chemical residue is easily absorbed through the skin and will cause humans and pets to become ill.  The importance of hiring the correct New Jersey pest control professional became very obvious to NJ residents when it was discovered that many homes in several New Jersey counties had suffered damages from the misapplication of harmful pesticides over several months in 2010.

A pest control company, TVF Pest Control, was recently found guilty by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection of using inappropriate chemicals to treat bed bug infestations in homes and apartments.  According to reports, TVF Pest Control used hazardous chemicals that are approved for outdoor usage (Malathion and Carbaryl) for treating the NJ bed bug infestations indoors.  Using outdoor chemicals indoors is a clear violation of New Jersey state law which has resulted in the pest control company being fined $860,000.  The Department of Environmental Protection will also seek to revoke the individual pesticide applicator licenses of the company’s owner and an employee, as well as the pest control company’s business license.

Additionally, the DEP is interested in immediately speaking to any New Jersey residents who received bed bug treatments from TVF Pest Control prior to July of 2010.  You may contact the DEP at 609-984-6513 or 609-984-6914 for Spanish speaking residents.
