If you have any questions about the wildlife of Newark, you can contact the New Jersey Wildlife Commission, sometimes called the New Jersey Fish & Wildlife Agency. New Jersey game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and Newark wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. If you have a problem with nuisance wildlife in Newark like squirrels, snakes, bats, or raccoons, the state agency is very unlikely to help. You need to hire a private company (here are their prices) such as EG Wildlife Removal at 973-607-2206.

New Jersey State bird: Eastern goldfinch
State mammal: Horse
State fish: Brook trout
State insect: European honeybee

New Jersey has four very different habitat regions, making it one of the most bio-diverse states in the United States. The coastal area is loaded with beaches and almost has a completely different human culture than the rest of the state. Urban New Jersey is right across from New York City, and this is one of the most densely populated areas of the state. In contrast, the southern part of New Jersey is dominated by pine trees and thick forest, and it is sparsely populated with people compared to the rest of the state. Up in the northwest, hardwood forests and mountains start the transition into the type of vegetation seen in the rest of the Northeast.

The wide variety of habitats means a wide variety of animals. New Jersey has over 1000 different animal species. These animals find homes in pine forests, hardwood forests, freshwater and saltwater marshes, and beach ecosystems.

Of the 90 different mammal species in this state, the black bear is the largest. These predators are most commonly found in the northwest portion of the state but have been spotted in every county. The bears are particularly problematic because of how populated the northwest part of the state is with humans. As a rule, black bears mind their own business; however, in a state where people and garbage are plentiful, bears can become frequent visitors to local dumps or garbage cans. The second largest predator in this state is the coyote. These canines are scarce, and spend their time in the wilder region of New Jersey. The large predators in this state are not considered nuisance animals like the smaller mammals that like to run amok.

Hikers out looking for animals will find more white-tailed deer than in any other state in the country. In addition to the deer, squirrels, skunks, foxes, raccoons, beaver, and groundhogs are all common sightings when out in the woods. Mammals don't hold all the glory for wildlife spotters. New Jersey has hundreds of bird species, including a growing population of bald eagles.

With so much water in the state, it's no wonder there are over 300 species of fish, reptiles, and amphibians in both freshwater and saltwater regions. New Jersey has swordfish, sturgeon, copperhead snakes, rattlesnakes, snapping turtles, and a colorful frog known as the Pine Barrens tree frog.

Newark Wildlife Tip
Does Rodent Poison Get Rid Of Body As Well? - Getting rid of rodents from your home is never an easy task - it may be time consuming and tedious. If you have taken the decision to use poison in order to eliminate these destructive creatures from your home you may be wondering if rodent poison gets rid of body as well. It does not, once the poison has done its job you will be left with a number of carcasses to dispose of. The manufacturer's instructions may have the necessary information and advice about dealing with any dead rodents and you should be careful to follow those instructions. You may also need to speak with animal control regarding any special requirements your county has regarding the use of poison on wild animals.

It is essential not to just leave the carcasses and assume the rodent poison gets rid of body - leaving a poisoned carcass lying around may pose a threat to other wildlife and even your domestic animals. If possible you should incinerate the poisoned bodies in order to thoroughly dispose of them, and, of course, this is something that should be carried out carefully and responsibly in order to avoid any possible danger to life and property.

Newark, NJ Wildlife News Clip:
Wildlife Regulation - House rat and mouse exterminating season begins

A strong fall foliage is making house rat and mouse harder to see, according to reports from exterminators, he said. "There are still a lot of leaves on the trees and a lot of vegetation because of all the moisture we've received, so the house rat and mouse are harder to spot," he said. "That means the house rat and mouse Bug sprayers are going to have to work for their house rat and mouse this year." The largest pest regulation company in Newark was interviewed, but shared nothing.

At check stations across the state, Bug sprayers are bringing in house rat and mouse that are in excellent condition, he said. "We are really happy about that," he said. "It looks like we are going to enter winter in good shape." Bug sprayers have been taking "a nice mix of older and younger house rat and mouse," he said. Some of the largest house rat and mouse taken around the state appear to have come from the central region, which includes Essex County, he said. This is a departure from the normal no-pest policy of the area..

As of 2 p.m., the check station at the bottom of Spanish Fork Canyon had witnessed a total of 22 house rat and mouse, he said, including 12 yearlings. Twelve of the 22 were spike house rat and mouse with two points, he said. The other ten had three points or better. "One was a 5x3, and there was a 4x4, and both of those house rat and mouse had a 25-inch black scaly tail spread," he said. "There was also a 6x6 that measured 24 inches wide. It was kind of unusual to see a house rat and mouse with that many points." No members of the Newark Pest Society could be found to issue a statement.

If he could send just a little rain to go with it, my seeds could germinate and grow. Then again, pest man forgot that pest man still have lime and fertilizer to spread. But at least my friends, both of them, tell me I'm really good at spreading "fertilizer." Wonders what they mean by that? Still, of all the mental and physical problems pest man have, pest man also have at least one good problem. And that's the fact that pest man has too much to write about and not enough space to accomplish that. Continued next week ...Newark pest control.
