Rodent Control Program
We provide targeted services for mice and rats, prioritizing safety, efficiency, and proactive prevention. (Please note: At the present time, we do not offer general wildlife trapping or wildlife exclusion services).
- Mice Control: Coverage for house mice is conveniently included in our standard quarterly pest control program.
- Rat Control: Rat management requires additional equipment and specialized servicing, so it is offered as a separate service for an additional charge. We manage rat populations primarily through the installation and maintenance of tamper-resistant exterior rodent bait stations. We do not treat, fumigate, or excavate rat burrows in yards.
Professional Rodent Solutions
Effective rodent control starts with understanding how these nuisance pests are interacting with your property. Our state-licensed pesticide applicators begin with a comprehensive inspection of your home or structure, focusing on:
- Identifying signs of current rodent activity and potential entry points.
- Locating sanitation concerns or conducive conditions that support rodent harborage.
- Recommending specific exclusion work or corrective actions.
After the inspection, we use weighted, tamper-resistant rodent bait stations where appropriate. These types of bait stations are safer and more effective for homes with children and pets.
As part of our service, we also proactively seal small openings around pipes, utility penetrations, and foundation gaps with copper mesh to help prevent future rodent entry.
Warranties & Ongoing Maintenance
We offer flexible service frequencies based on your specific needs, ensuring your property remains protected year-round.
- Recurring Protection: Ongoing maintenance is available through our quarterly pest control program
- One-Time Services & Warranty: Our one-time rodent services in New Jersey include a 30-day warranty. These specialized clean-outs are commonly performed for real estate transactions, vacant properties, and demolition projects. While primarily geared toward rat activity, they are highly effective against any rodent that consumes the bait.
Crawl Space & Rodents
Rodents can leave behind significant messes, particularly beneath your home. While we do not perform electrical fixes or major structural repairs, we offer professional crawlspace remediation services to restore your property
These services are performed as full crawlspace projects rather than partial or spot treatments, and include:
- The complete removal of rodent-contaminated insulation.
- The installation of clean, new crawlspace insulation to protect your home's thermal barrier
- The replacement of broken or damaged foundation vents to help block future rodent entry.

How can I prevent ants from entering my home?
To prevent ants from entering your home or business, follow these steps:
- Keep food sealed in airtight containers and promptly clean up spills.
- Regularly clean countertops, floors, and trash bins to eliminate crumbs and grease.
- Fix leaky pipes and eliminate standing water sources.
- Seal cracks and crevices around windows, doors, and foundations to block entry points.
- Trim shrubs and trees away from the home, as these can act as pathways for ants.
Are ants harmful to humans or property?
While most ants in New Jersey are simply a nuisance, certain species can pose risks to both humans and property. Carpenter ants, for example, are known for their ability to excavate wood to create nests. While they don't consume wood like termites, their tunneling can lead to significant structural damage over time, particularly if the infestation is extensive or left untreated.
Pharaoh ants, on the other hand, are less of a threat to property but can pose serious health risks. They are known to carry pathogens like salmonella and streptococcus, which makes them particularly problematic in kitchens, hospitals, and food storage areas. These ants typically establish colonies in warm, humid indoor areas such as bathrooms, wall voids, or near heating systems. Odorous house ants, while not harmful to structures or health, can invade homes in large numbers, contaminating food supplies. Crushing these ants releases a strong, unpleasant odor similar to rotten coconut.
