Pest Control in Rochelle Park, NJ — Exterminator for Homes & Businesses

What makes pest control in Rochelle Park its own job

Rochelle Park is one of Bergen County's smallest townships — about a square mile — but it packs a lot in. Quiet streets of modest single-family homes, on small lots, sit a block or two from Route 17, the Garden State Parkway and the busy Passaic Street corridor. The Saddle River runs along the western edge of town, and the big shopping area in neighboring Paramus is just to the north.

That mix of homes, highways and commercial buildings means we see two kinds of problems here:

• Home pests — mice in the basement each fall, ants in the kitchen each spring, and wasps under the eaves each summer.
• Pests that start at businesses — rats and roaches that live around dumpsters, loading areas and food prep, then spread to the nearest homes when a business closes or cleans up.

Because Rochelle Park sits right next to Saddle Brook, Lodi, Maywood, Paramus and Hackensack, it is part of our regular Bergen County route rather than a far-off trip.

Living near the Saddle River: moisture, mosquitoes and rodents

Homes on the west side of Rochelle Park, closest to the Saddle River, deal with more moisture than those near Route 17. Wet basements and low yards attract their own set of pests:

• Mosquitoes breed in standing water after heavy rain — puddles, clogged gutters, buckets and tarps. We offer mosquito, tick and flea yard treatments; mosquito treatment starts from $95 plus tax. See mosquito control and flea and tick control.
• Oriental roaches, centipedes and camel crickets like damp basements and crawl spaces. Fixing the moisture is half the cure.
• Rats use river banks and overgrown edges for cover and travel toward homes with bird feeders, compost or pet food outside.
• Termites need moisture too. A wet foundation plus wood near the soil is the classic setup.

After a flood or a very wet spring, call us to walk the outside of the house. Finding the moisture and the gaps early is cheaper than chasing pests through the basement later.
