Local Pest Control for Marlton and Evesham Township
Marlton is one of Burlington County's most desirable communities — a well-established mix of colonials, split-levels, townhomes, and newer developments spread across Evesham Township. That combination of housing age and the wooded character of the surrounding landscape creates real, ongoing pest challenges for homeowners throughout the area.
SoJo Pest Control is a family-owned, NJ DEP-licensed pest control company based in neighboring Voorhees Township. Mark, our lead technician with more than nine years of field experience, and Ted, who handles operations, built this company to serve South Jersey homeowners personally — not as a territory on a large company's regional map. Marlton and Evesham Township are a core part of the communities we serve.
Tick Pressure Is High in Marlton
Evesham Township has significant wooded acreage, and that tree canopy extends into nearly every Marlton neighborhood. Properties along the Route 73 corridor, the mature interior neighborhoods off Evesham Road, and communities backing up to preserved open space all share the same characteristic: wooded edges that serve as prime tick habitat.
Burlington County consistently ranks among New Jersey's higher-risk counties for Lyme disease. The deer population in Evesham Township is substantial, and deer are the primary host for adult black-legged ticks (deer ticks) — the species responsible for transmitting Lyme. Tick exposure isn't limited to hiking trails. Ticks move readily into maintained lawns, ornamental shrub beds, and play areas wherever a wooded buffer exists nearby.
SoJo's tick and mosquito treatment targets the specific zones where ticks concentrate: the transition edge between lawn and wooded areas, leaf litter accumulations, low-hanging brush, and shaded groundcover. We offer both one-time treatments and seasonal programs that cover the active season from spring through fall.
Termite Risk in Marlton's Older Housing Stock
A significant portion of Marlton's housing was built between the early 1970s and the mid-1990s. Homes from that era were often constructed with wood-to-soil contact at sill plates, wood framing near grade, and crawl spaces or slab-on-grade foundations that are vulnerable to subterranean termite entry. Termites are endemic to Burlington County — if your home has not been inspected or treated in recent years, the risk of active or incipient infestation is real.
SoJo uses Trelona® ATBS bait stations for termite control. Unlike liquid barrier treatments, which simply block entry, Trelona® ATBS targets the entire colony. Bait stations are installed in the ground around your home's perimeter. Foraging termites encounter and consume the bait, then share it with nestmates — eliminating the colony from within. There is no fumigation, no need to vacate your home, and no interior drilling.
General Pest Control Throughout the Year
Beyond ticks, mosquitoes, and termites, Marlton homeowners deal with the full range of South Jersey pest pressures. Ant colonies become active in spring and continue through summer, infiltrating kitchens and bathrooms. Stink bugs seek overwintering shelter in fall, and once inside, they're difficult to dislodge without professional help. Rodents — both mice and rats — exploit the aging infrastructure of older homes as temperatures drop. Wasps and yellow jackets nest in eaves, overhangs, and buried voids throughout the warmer months.
SoJo provides general pest control programs designed for ongoing protection rather than single-event treatment. Our approach starts with an inspection, identifies the specific pressures your property faces, and builds a treatment plan that makes sense for your home and budget.
