Rodent Control & Exclusion in Montague, NJ

Stop mice and rats fast — and keep them out — with Howey Pest Solutions’ local, family-owned rodent control & exclusion services in Montague and surrounding Sussex County communities.

Rodents contaminate food, damage insulation and wiring, and trigger allergies. With Montague’s wooded lots and proximity to the Delaware River corridor and High Point State Park, pressure can be high. Our comprehensive program combines detailed inspection, professional trapping/monitoring, and exclusion (entry-point sealing) to eliminate current activity and prevent future intrusions.

Our Rodent Control & Exclusion Process

  • Inspection: Identify species (mice/rats), entry points, runways, nesting areas, and conducive conditions.
  • Targeted Control: Strategic trapping and tamper-resistant stations placed in high-activity zones.
  • Exclusion: Seal small/accessible gaps around utility lines, doors, vents, soffits, and foundation penetrations; recommendations provided for larger repairs.
  • Sanitation & Proofing: Practical steps to reduce food/harborage and deter re-entry.
  • Follow-Up: Re-inspection and adjustments until activity is eliminated.

Common Rodents in Montague Homes

  • House Mice — small droppings, gnawing on food packages, nighttime activity
  • Deer Mice — more common near wooded/outbuilding areas
  • Norway Rats — larger burrows near foundations, heavy gnawing and grease marks

Signs You May Have Rodents

  • Scratching in walls/ceilings (especially at night)
  • Droppings in cabinets, basements, garages, or along baseboards
  • Gnaw marks on wiring, food containers, or wood
  • Grease rub marks and dark trails along walls

Rodent Prevention Tips

  • Seal gaps ≥ 1/4" around doors, foundation vents, siding and utility penetrations
  • Store pet food/bird seed in sealed containers; clean spills promptly
  • Declutter basements/garages; elevate storage 6"+ off the floor
  • Trim vegetation away from the home; keep firewood at least 20 ft from the structure

Frequently Asked Questions

Is your service safe for kids and pets?

Yes — devices are tamper-resistant and placed strategically. Materials are used according to label directions to prioritize safety and effectiveness.

What does “exclusion” include?

Exclusion is rodent-proofing your home by sealing small, accessible gaps we can reasonably address during service. For larger structural repairs, we’ll provide recommendations.

How long does elimination take?

Many homes see major reductions within 1–2 weeks. Full elimination and hardening against re-entry may require follow-up visits.

Will I need multiple visits?

Typically yes — initial setup, a follow-up to remove/adjust devices, and a final verification once activity stops.

Can I add ongoing monitoring?

Absolutely — add rodent monitoring/exclusion checks to your Home Service Plan for year-round protection and savings.
