Rodent Control & Exclusion in Branchville, NJ

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

Rodents contaminate food, damage insulation and wiring, and trigger allergies. With Branchville’s mix of older homes, farms, and wooded lots, pressure can rise seasonally. Our comprehensive program combines detailed inspection, professional trapping/monitoring, and exclusion (entry-point sealing) to eliminate active problems and prevent future intrusions.

  • Child- & pet-conscious device placement and EPA-approved materials
  • Exclusion included: sealing accessible entry points where feasible
  • Follow-up visits until activity is resolved, plus prevention guidance
  • Available as one-time service or part of our Home Service Plans

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 in high-activity zones.
  • Exclusion: Seal small/accessible gaps around utility lines, doors, vents, soffits, and foundation penetrations; we’ll recommend solutions 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 Branchville Homes

  • House Mice — small droppings, gnawing on food packages, nighttime activity
  • Deer Mice — common near wooded edges and outbuildings
  • Norway Rats — burrows near foundations; heavy gnawing and grease marks

Signs You May Have Rodents

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

Rodent Prevention Tips

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Is your service safe for kids and pets?

Yes — we use tamper-resistant devices and place them strategically. All materials are used according to label directions for safety and effectiveness.

What does “exclusion” include?

We rodent-proof by sealing small, accessible gaps during service. For larger structural repairs (e.g., door sweeps, soffit rebuilds), we’ll provide recommendations or coordinate solutions.

How long does elimination take?

Most homes see major reductions within 1–2 weeks. Full elimination and hardening against re-entry may require follow-up visits based on the structure and infestation level.

Will I need multiple visits?

Typically yes — we start with an initial setup, follow up to remove/adjust devices, then verify once activity has ceased.

Can I add ongoing monitoring?

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