Elmwood Park sits along the Passaic River and Dundee Lake, with Route 80, Route 46 and the Garden State Parkway cutting through. Riverbanks, rail lines, commercial strips and dumpsters behind businesses give Norway rats food and cover, and they move into nearby yards, garages and basements, especially after heavy rain floods their burrows. Bird feeders, compost and garbage cans without tight lids keep them coming back.

The three situations behind most of these calls in North Jersey:
Our One-Time Mouse Service is 100% guaranteed, and mice and rodent service includes 90 days of coverage with unlimited free service calls in that time.
Rats are wary and harder to trap than mice. The lasting fix is finding the burrows and gaps they use and closing them.
Trapping handles the rodents inside. Sealing the gaps with steel and the right materials is what stops the next ones.

|---|---|
| Burrows 2 to 4 inches wide | Along the foundation, under decks and sheds |
