Kenilworth is a small borough of single-family homes, tucked between the Garden State Parkway and Galloping Hill Golf Course. Lots are tight, trees are mature, and most homes have basements. That combination is why our Kenilworth pest control calls are mostly about mice in the fall, wasps in the summer and squirrels year-round. We serve Kenilworth from our Bayonne office.
Call 201-932-2264 to book a Kenilworth inspection.
Mice in Kenilworth Basements
When the nights turn cold in October, mice start looking for a way in. In Kenilworth, the usual paths are a gap around a dryer vent, a worn garage door seal, or the space where a pipe goes through a basement wall.
How we handle it:
- Inspection inside and out
- Locate entry points, including vents and utility penetrations
- Seal the entry points
- Treatment with mechanical and humane traps
- Sanitation steps, with cleanup available separately
Rodent control starts at $145, with up to a 6-month warranty depending on the situation. You don’t need to prep anything before we arrive.
Butterworth Farms and the Neighborhoods Near the Course
Homes in Butterworth Farms and along the streets near Galloping Hill back onto open green space. That’s good cover for raccoons, squirrels, opossums and ground-nesting yellowjackets. We check for babies, confirm with cameras that no animals are left in walls, remove them humanely, then handle exclusion, repairs and cleanup. From $295, exclusion from $99, most jobs 5 to 7 days, one-year warranty on most jobs.
Termites in Kenilworth
Wood sills in mid-century basements and porches set close to soil are typical targets for Eastern subterranean termites. Watch for mud tubes on foundation walls and swarmers near windows in spring. We inspect, map the activity, then treat with foam, liquid soil treatment or bait stations, followed by monitoring. No fumigation.
Wasps, Hornets and Ground Bees
We find the nest, then remove it or treat it in place. Stinging insect work carries a 90-day warranty. Call before you spray. Stinging insect nests are hard to handle safely on your own.
What to Check Before You Call
- Droppings along basement walls, behind the water heater or in the garage
- Chewed cardboard boxes or bags of grass seed
- Scratching inside walls or ceilings at night
- Gaps at the dryer vent, around pipes and under the garage door
