Pest control in Englewood Cliffs, NJ: woods on one side, offices on the other
Englewood Cliffs sits on top of the Palisades in eastern Bergen County, between Fort Lee to the south, Tenafly to the north and Englewood to the west. It's a different town from Englewood, even though the names get mixed up all the time. Sylvan Avenue (Route 9W) runs north–south through the borough, lined with corporate office buildings, and the Palisades Interstate Parkway runs along the east side next to the wooded parkland at the top of the cliffs.
Away from Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs is mostly single-family homes — ranches, split-levels and colonials from the postwar decades, and plenty of large newer houses built in their place — on quiet streets with big trees. Many homes have finished basements, attached garages, decks and patios.
The parkland is the big pest factor. Raccoons, squirrels, groundhogs, deer and the ticks they carry all live in those woods and spill into the yards nearby. Add carpenter ants and termites in the wood of older homes and mice in the fall, and you have most of our Englewood Cliffs calls.

Wildlife from the Palisades woods
The three animals we're called about most in Englewood Cliffs:
Raccoons
- Loud thumping in the attic or chimney at night
- Ripped roof vents, soffits or a pulled-up shingle line
- Trash cans knocked over and droppings on the deck or roof
Raccoons are strong and persistent, and spring is when mothers look for a quiet attic or chimney to raise young. We check for young before sealing anything, use exclusion so the animals leave, install chimney caps and repair chewed soffits and fascia ourselves.
Squirrels
- Scratching and running in the ceiling in the morning
- Chewed corners on roof edges, vents and gutters
- Squirrels going in and out of the same spot on the roof
Big trees close to the roof give squirrels an easy path. We put a one-way door on the active hole, seal every other gap, and suggest trimming branches back from the roof. Flying squirrels, which are active only at night, are common near wooded parkland too.
Groundhogs
- A large burrow hole under a deck, patio, shed or porch
- Fresh dirt mounds near the foundation
- Chewed garden plants
Groundhogs dig under decks, sheds and patio slabs and can undermine them. Once the animal is out, we install buried L-shaped mesh so it can't dig back under. The same buried-mesh method keeps other animals from denning under porches and sheds.
How wildlife exclusion works on an Englewood Cliffs home
Full inspection
We check the roofline, vents, chimney, soffits, gutters, decks and foundation, and look in the attic for droppings, nesting and damage.
One-way door
A one-way door goes on the main entry so the animals can leave but can't get back in. We check for young first, especially in spring.
Seal everything else
Other gaps are sealed with materials animals can't chew through. Chimneys get caps; decks and sheds can get buried mesh.
Repair
Our crew repairs chewed soffits, fascia and trim so the house is closed up properly, not just patched.
Clean up
Where the attic is soiled, we do odor control and HEPA cleanup, and remove and replace damaged insulation.

Exterminator in Englewood Cliffs, NJ: pests by part of the house
Where you notice the problem tells us a lot about what it is:
| Where | What it usually is | Our page |
|---|---|---|
| Attic | Squirrels, raccoons, flying squirrels, mice | Attic noises |
| Kitchen | Odorous house ants in spring; mice in fall; occasional roaches | Ant control |
| Basement | Mice, water bugs, termite swarmers in spring, camel crickets | Termite control |
| Garage | Mice nesting in stored items; rats if there's food or bird seed | Mice and rat control |
| Bedrooms | Bed bugs brought home from travel; stink bugs at the windows in fall | Bed bug treatment |
| Deck, porch and trim | Carpenter bees, carpenter ants in damp wood, groundhogs underneath | Carpenter ant control |
| Roofline and eaves | Paper wasps, hornets, squirrel and raccoon entry holes | Bee and wasp removal |
| Lawn and garden | Yellow jacket ground nests, ticks, mosquitoes | Ground yellow jackets |
For roaches, our method is gel bait plus an insect growth regulator plus a follow-up visit, with a 90-day warranty — see roach control. Termite damage? We treat and then repair sill plates, joists and framing ourselves.
Ticks, mosquitoes and stinging insects in the yard
Yards near the wooded parkland see more of all three:
Ticks
Deer, mice and chipmunks bring ticks into yards that border woods. Keep the lawn edge mowed and leaf piles away from play areas, and ask your vet about pet tick prevention.
Mosquitoes
They breed in clogged gutters, planters, pool covers and anything that holds water. Mosquito yard treatment starts from $95 plus tax.
Yellow jackets
They nest in the ground, in stone walls and in wall voids, and get aggressive in late summer. Don't pour gasoline or plug the hole — call us to treat it.
Honey bees
Honey bee swarms aren't exterminated. We relocate them with a local beekeeper.
See tick spray for yards and mosquito control.
Pest control for offices along Sylvan Avenue
The office buildings along Sylvan Avenue have their own pest pattern. Most problems start in the same few places: break rooms and kitchenettes, cafeterias, loading docks, trash and recycling areas, and landscaped grounds that back up to wooded land.
- Mice come in at loading doors and utility penetrations, especially in fall, and move along ceilings and wall voids to food areas.
- Roaches and ants follow food and water in break rooms and around coffee stations.
- Yellow jackets and wasps build near entrances, patios and smoking areas in summer.
- Birds and wildlife nest on ledges, in signage and under rooftop equipment; we do bird netting and exclusion.
We offer one-time service and regular visits scheduled around business hours. Regular service comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. See commercial pest control.
Dead animal smell? Removal and cleanup
A sudden rotten smell in one room or near a wall usually means an animal died inside — often a mouse or squirrel, sometimes something larger in a crawl space, under a deck or in a chimney. We do dead animal removal from attics, walls and around the property, then find and seal the way it got in. We also offer odor control and HEPA cleanup. See dead animal removal.
