"I got to meet one of the owners Todd, and he was great at explaining everything carefully and ensuring that the bugs at our house were all exterminated. I am only giving 4.5 stars for now because the job is not finished, but he really cares about the treatment and gave us a 90 day plan to make sure that we would no longer have a cockroach infestation. We also have a small puppy, so he made sure to explain to us that the stuff he used was safe. Overall, I really had a great experience with Gotham Pest Control!"

"Todd the applicator was punctual for the scheduled appointment. He's very professional, as well as very informative and experienced with my Ant problem. He got right to the source of the Ant infestation in my apartment. After he treated my apartment for the Ants, I have not seen any Ant activity. I would definitely recommend him to any family and friends with pest issues."

"I had an ongoing rodent problem and I tried everything. I called NJ pest defense and I was treated like family rather than a customer which made me feel more relaxed. After about a week I even got a follow up call to reassure I haven't seen anymore rodents/pests. I also got a free 90 day guarantee unlike other companies that don't guarantee their work. So I would definitely recommend this company because I usually don't do reviews unless the company is REALLY BAD or REALLY GOOD!"

"Drew was very courteous and knowledgeable.  He used one type of control inside and applied the substance at every place in the house where I told him I had seen the ants - the kitchen, primarily, the front hall, the TV/office room, an upstairs bedroom.  He was very careful to get the substance into the cracks and crevices and corners and he explained to me very carefully how the substance would not hurt my cats.

He spent a lot of time outside too coating underneath the entryway doors - front and back - and along the sides of the main front entryway, all where they seem to enter the house.

He also checked the basement very thoroughly to determine if there were any signs of the ants.

Overall, Dew does an excellent job.  He is polite, friendly, knowledgeable and  informative and willing to spend the time to do the job."

"In October 2015 we had seen chipmunks in our garage and some mouse droppings in closets and kitchen, and we heard some loud noises in the wall connecting to our garage. We assumed they were chipmunks but also had found some mouse droppings so knew they were around also but didn't know where they were getting in.
They came out a few days after I called. The guy was on time and very friendly.  He checked many areas I would not have thought to check looking for clues as to how they'd gotten into the garage. Turns out there was a hole in the retaining wall of my driveway that was allowing the chipmunks access to the garage. He installed a one-way opening so they could get out but could not get back in, and set 3 traps (have-a-heart traps). 
He told me to release any chipmunks I caught in the woods at least a mile away and showed me how to open and set the traps. I did not catch any chipmunks in the traps, but after about 2 weeks stopped hearing noises in the walls. I think the one-way exit worked.
My only complaints are that 1)  I had to call them to come back to pick up the traps. I would think the traps are expensive (maybe that's why it cost me $350?) but the guy did say they would come to pick them up in a month or so.  They are scheduled to come out next week to get the traps. And 2) the Big Deal ($149) I purchased didn't cover all the rodent exclusion stuff they did. I realize they did more than just set mouse bait, and the problem was resolved ultimately, but it was quite expensive in my opinion.

FAQs for rodent pest control service projects in Jersey City, NJ

Rodent exclusion seals every gap, vent, and crack that rodents use to sneak inside your home. Most homeowners pay an average of $200 to $600 for this add-on. By blocking entry points, you create a long-term barrier that cuts down on repeat infestations and helps protect both your family and your property.

Pros start with an inspection, then place tamper-resistant bait stations and traps in high-traffic spots. They’ll also seal entry points and clean droppings to reduce health risks. Follow-up visits confirm that the plan worked and that no new rodents have moved in. This step-by-step approach removes the current infestation and helps keep your home rodent-free going forward.

A trained pest-control pro can pinpoint hidden access points using a flashlight, thermal imaging, and plenty of crawl-space sleuthing. During an inspection, the specialist maps every gap, vent, or pipe run that rats use, then explains how to seal each one. This detailed report lets you tackle the weak spots immediately and dramatically lowers the odds of another infestation.

Rodent prevention starts with managing food and entry points. Store pantry items in airtight containers, take out trash promptly, and keep pet food sealed. Outside, trim vegetation and stack firewood away from the house. Inside, seal gaps with steel wool or hardware cloth. A tidy yard and a buttoned-up home give rats and mice few reasons—or routes—to move in.

For wall or attic nests, pros place snap traps or CO2-powered units in the exact runways rats use, then return to remove carcasses and reset as needed. Poison is risky indoors because rats may die in hidden spots, creating odors or health issues, so most technicians avoid it. Once trapping is complete, they’ll seal entry points and clean droppings to finish the job.

Plan on several weeks, especially for larger infestations. Your pro will set traps, return every few days to collect rats, and adjust placement until activity stops. Final visits include sealing access points and sanitizing affected areas. Timelines vary, but most homes are rat-free after two to four follow-ups. Prompt scheduling and good sanitation can shorten the process.
