Rodent Control & Exclusion in Newton, NJ

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

Rodents contaminate food, damage wiring and insulation, and trigger allergies. Our comprehensive program combines detailed inspection, professional trapping/monitoring, and exclusion (entry-point sealing) to eliminate current activity and help prevent future intrusions—whether you’re in-town near Spring Street or on the outskirts of Newton.

Why Choose Our Rodent Control & Exclusion?

  • Child- & pet-conscious device placement and EPA-approved materials
  • Exclusion included: sealing common 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, and foundation penetrations; 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 Newton 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, utility penetrations, and foundation vents
  • 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.
