Pest control in Guttenberg, NJ: one of the most crowded towns in the country

Guttenberg is a tiny Hudson County town on top of the Palisades, wedged between West New York to the south and North Bergen to the north and west. It covers only a few blocks between Bergenline Avenue and Boulevard East, yet thousands of people live there β€” it's one of the most densely populated places in the United States. Along the cliff edge stand the Galaxy Towers and other high-rises looking across the Hudson; behind them are blocks of brick walk-up apartment buildings, attached row houses and two- and three-family homes.

In a town built that tightly, pests don't respect property lines. Mice run through shared walls and basements. German roaches move along plumbing lines from one apartment to the next. Bed bugs travel with furniture carried up and down the same stairwells. That's why so much of our Guttenberg work involves more than one unit, and why we talk to both the tenant and the owner about where the problem really starts.

The three pests Guttenberg calls about most

Most of our Guttenberg jobs are one of these:

Mouse and rat droppings compared side by side
All year, worst in fall and winter

Mice and rats

  • Droppings in drawers, under the stove and along baseboards
  • Scratching in the walls or ceiling at night
  • Holes chewed in food bags

In attached buildings, mice travel through gaps around radiator and plumbing pipes, under kitchen cabinets and through the basement. We trap where kids and pets can't reach and seal the holes with stainless steel mesh and other materials they can't chew. Mouse service includes 90 days of coverage with unlimited free service calls.

All year

German roaches

  • Small tan roaches in the kitchen and bathroom
  • Dark specks in cabinet corners and hinges
  • Roaches in the microwave, toaster or fridge motor

German roaches are the indoor roach that breeds in apartments. Sprays push them next door and they come right back. Our roach method is gel bait plus an insect growth regulator plus a follow-up visit, with a 90-day warranty β€” and in a building, the units around yours should be treated too.

Bed bug on a bed sheet
All year

Bed bugs

  • Itchy bites in a row after sleeping
  • Small dark spots on mattress seams and the box spring
  • Bugs in the couch or behind the headboard

Bed bugs come in on luggage, used furniture and visitors. We offer heat treatment and Aprehend, give you a prep list in English or Spanish, and come back to check. Never pick up a mattress or couch left on the sidewalk.

For tenants, landlords and building owners

In Guttenberg, the person who sees the pest and the person who owns the building are often not the same. Here's how we handle that:

  • Tenants: tell your landlord or super in writing what you're seeing and when, with photos. You can also call us yourself; we'll tell you honestly if the problem looks like it's coming from another unit or a common area.
  • Landlords and owners: treating one apartment in a building with roaches, mice or bed bugs often means you'll be paying again in a month. We can inspect the affected line of units, the basement and the trash area together and give you one plan.
  • Owners of two- and three-family homes: regular service keeps the shared basement, the yard and the trash area under control and comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Who is responsible for pest control depends on the lease, the type of building and local rules, and those rules can change. If you're unsure, check with Guttenberg's code enforcement office or the NJ Department of Community Affairs. More on landlord and tenant pest control and pest control for renters.

Pigeons, guano and the Boulevard East buildings

Pigeons are a real nuisance on the ledges, window AC units, balconies and fire escapes of Guttenberg's taller buildings. Their droppings stain, smell and can carry disease, and nests block drains and vents.

We remove pigeons and close off the spaces they use, including bird netting where it fits. Pigeon removal runs $400 to $1,000 depending on the job. Where droppings have built up β€” on a roof, in an attic or behind equipment β€” we do guano cleanup and sanitation. Bats in older buildings get a licensed exclusion, never trapping.

See pigeon removal, bird netting and licensed bat exclusion.

Before we arrive: five steps that make treatment work

1

Stop spraying

Store sprays scatter roaches and ants into the walls and make baits less attractive. Stop a few days before our visit.

2

Clear under the sinks

We need to see the pipe openings in the kitchen and bathroom, where roaches and mice travel.

3

Keep a few droppings or bugs

Don't clean everything β€” droppings and sightings show us where activity is heaviest.

4

Tell the neighbors or the super

If neighbors have the same problem, treating together saves everyone money and time.

5

Bag clothes for bed bugs

If it's bed bugs, follow our prep list β€” wash and dry bedding hot and bag clothes before treatment.

Our bed bug prep checklist has the full list.

How quickly can you get to Guttenberg?

We're based in Garfield, usually about 25 to 35 minutes away depending on traffic. Same-day appointments are often available if you call early.

Why do mice keep coming back to my apartment?

In attached buildings, mice come from neighboring units, the basement and gaps around pipes. Trapping alone won't stop them; the gaps have to be sealed, which is part of our mouse service.

Is there a warranty on roach treatment?

Yes. Roach treatment carries a 90-day warranty and includes a follow-up visit.

What's the small light-colored roach by my balcony door?

In Guttenberg's high-rises it may be a Mediterranean spotted roach, an outdoor roach that wanders in and doesn't breed indoors. Our Guttenberg page on that roach explains how to tell it from a German roach.

Can you treat bed bugs in a Guttenberg apartment?

Yes. We use heat treatment or Aprehend, give you a prep list, and recommend checking the units next to, above and below yours.

Who pays for pest control, the tenant or the landlord?

It depends on the lease, the building type and local rules, which can change. Check your lease and ask Guttenberg's code enforcement or the NJ Department of Community Affairs if you're unsure.

How much does pigeon removal cost?

Pigeon removal costs $400 to $1,000 depending on the job. We can add bird netting and clean up the droppings.

Do you repair termite damage?

Yes. After treating the termites, our own crew repairs damaged sill plates, joists, beams and framing.

Do you remove dead animals?

Yes. We remove dead animals from walls, ceilings, attics and around the property, and offer odor control and cleanup.

Do you offer 24-hour emergency service?
