Rodent control in Englewood, NJ covers two very different problems. Mice move into apartment blocks and older houses when the weather turns cold. Norway rats burrow along foundations, retaining walls and creek banks, and work their way in at ground level. Clearview Pest Control Inc. has an office on West Palisade Avenue and handles both, in homes, multi-family buildings, restaurants and shops across Englewood.

Where rodents come from in Englewood
- Flat Rock Brook and the Palisades slope. Homes that back onto the preserve and the wooded east side see rats and mice moving in from the edge of the woods, especially in fall.
- The Route 4 and Palisade Avenue corridors. Restaurants, food retail and dumpsters support rat populations that spread to nearby homes.
- The old Erie Railroad Northern Branch line. Overgrown rail edges and embankments give rats cover and burrowing ground.
- Older housing on East Hill and around downtown. Stone foundations, settled sills and old utility openings leave gaps a mouse can use.
- Garden apartments and attached homes. Mice travel between units through shared walls and pipe chases.
How we get rid of rats and mice
- Inspect and map runways inside and out: droppings, rub marks, gnawing and burrows.
- Trap inside. We don’t use loose poison inside your home, so you are not left with a rodent dying in the wall.
- Bait outside where needed, in locked, tamper-resistant stations fixed in place.
- Seal entry points with copper or steel mesh, hardware cloth, sheet metal, mortar and new door sweeps.
- Remove harborage: burrows, wood piles and clutter along the foundation.
- Follow up until activity stops.
Most houses see a clear drop in one to two weeks, with the problem resolved in three to four weeks. For the full method, see rat and mice control.
What our Englewood customers say
Damian M. called us for rat removal and called us “the best exterminator in Bergen county”. Jose Z. had rats in his home and has not seen one since we treated. Both reviews are on our Englewood Google Business Profile.
Homes, apartments and businesses
- Single-family homes: trapping, sealing and yard work around burrows, sheds and decks.
- Garden apartments and multi-family buildings: we plan across connected units, because mice move between them.
- Restaurants and food retail: exterior bait stations, interior monitoring, and sealing at doors and utility lines.
Frequently asked questions about rodent control in Englewood
Why do I have mice now when nothing has changed?
Mice move indoors in fall as temperatures drop. Nearby construction, a neighbor’s cleanup or a new food source on the block can also push rodents toward your house.
Do you use poison inside my home?
No. Inside we use traps. Any bait goes outside in locked stations that children and pets cannot open.
My yard backs onto Flat Rock Brook. Will rodents keep coming?
You can’t stop rodents living in the woods. You can stop them getting into the house. Sealing the foundation and keeping a clear strip along it is what makes the difference.
My neighbor has rats. Should I treat too?
Rats range across several yards. Sealing your house and placing exterior stations protects you even if the neighbor does nothing.
