A Local Exterminator, Not a Call Center
When you call NJ Pest Guard, you talk to someone who knows North Jersey — not a national call center reading from a script three states away. Your technician works the same streets you live on. A roach problem in a Paterson triple-decker needs a completely different approach than carpenter ants in a Wayne colonial backing up to the woods — and your pro treats them that way.
Most calls come from two situations: something just appeared and it's urgent (a mouse in the kitchen, bed bug bites, a wasp nest by the front door), or something has been building for months and the store-bought sprays stopped working. Both are fixable. The difference between a $200 visit and a $1,500 infestation is almost always how fast you call.
We handle homes, apartments, and small businesses across Passaic and Bergen counties. Every job starts with a real inspection — we find where they're getting in, what they're feeding on, and why they picked your place — and then we treat the cause, not just the symptom. If a company only wants to spray your baseboards and leave, that's not pest control. That's pest postponement.
What we treat
Bed Bug Extermination
Bed bugs are the number-one call we get from Paterson, Clifton, and Passaic — especially in multi-family buildings where they travel through walls and shared plumbing. We do full-room heat and targeted treatments with follow-up inspections, because one visit never finishes a bed bug job.
Bed bug control in Paterson →Cockroach Control
German roaches in kitchens, American roaches coming up through drains and basements — roaches thrive in North Jersey's older apartment stock. We use baiting systems and growth regulators that collapse the colony instead of just scattering it.
Roach control in Passaic →Rodent Removal
Mice and rats get in through gaps you can't even see — a mouse needs a hole the size of a dime. Fall is our busiest rodent season as they move indoors. We trap, remove, and seal entry points so they don't come back.
Rodent control in Clifton →Termite Treatment
Eastern subterranean termites swarm in New Jersey every spring, usually April through June. By the time you see damage, they've been there for years. We do thorough inspections of foundations, crawl spaces, and sill plates.
Termite control in Wayne →Ant Extermination
Carpenter ants chew through damp wood in North Jersey's older homes; odorous house ants invade kitchens every spring. Spraying the trail you see does nothing — we track them back to the nest and eliminate the colony.
Ant control in Hackensack →Stinging Insects & Wildlife
Yellowjacket nests in wall voids, wasps under eaves, and the occasional raccoon or squirrel in the attic. We remove nests safely and handle nuisance wildlife humanely, then seal up how they got in.

Why North Jersey Calls NJ Pest Guard
- Same-day and next-day appointments. Pests don't wait, and neither do local pros. Call before noon and a pro can usually be there the same day.
- Free, honest inspections. Your pro tells you what's actually going on — including when you don't need treatment at all. The goal is a customer for life, not a treatment you don't need.
- Treatments that are safe around kids and pets when used as directed. Your pro uses targeted, low-impact products and walks you through exactly what's being applied and where.
- Entry points found and sealed. Killing what's inside is half the job. Your pro seals gaps, screens vents, and fixes the conditions that invited them in.
- Clear, upfront pricing. You'll know the cost before work starts. No surprise add-ons, no pressure to sign a year-long contract on the first visit.
- Guaranteed work. If the pests come back between visits, your pro comes back too — free.
How it works
1. Call. Tell us what you’re seeing. It takes a few minutes, and you’ll usually get a price range on the spot. 2. Inspect. A local pest control pro comes to your home, finds the source, and gives you a firm quote before any work starts — no obligation. 3. Treat. Your pro eliminates the current problem and addresses how they got in. 4. Follow up. For bed bugs, roaches, and termites, your pro comes back to verify — because the follow-up is where infestations restart if it’s skipped. Free to use. You never pay NJ Pest Guard — you pay your pro directly, only if you hire them.
Common Questions
How much does pest control cost in North Jersey?
A typical one-time treatment for ants, roaches, or mice runs $150–$350 depending on the size of the home and severity. Bed bug treatments are more involved — usually $500–$1,500 for a full treatment with follow-ups. Termite work is quoted per job after inspection. We'll always give you the exact price before we start — or try our pest control cost calculator for a quick estimate.
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes, when used as directed. We use EPA-registered products applied in a targeted way — crack-and-crevice treatments, baits in tamper-resistant stations, and exterior barriers — rather than fogging your whole house. We'll tell you exactly what's being used, where, and whether anyone needs to stay out of a room and for how long.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
No. One-time treatments are available for every service. We do offer quarterly prevention plans because they're genuinely the best value for keeping pests out year-round in New Jersey, but they're optional and month-to-month — never a locked-in annual contract.
How fast can you get here?
We offer same-day service across all 11 of our North Jersey service areas for most calls placed before noon. Bed bug and wasp emergencies get priority scheduling.
I'm a landlord — do you work with property managers?
Constantly. A huge share of our work is multi-unit buildings in Paterson, Passaic, and Clifton. We coordinate directly with tenants, document everything for your records, and can set up recurring service across your portfolio. Read our guide on NJ landlord pest responsibilities →
What should I do before the technician arrives?
Very little for most treatments — just clear under sinks for roach work and wash/dry bedding on high heat for bed bug prep. We'll give you a short prep checklist when you book, and there's no need to empty your whole house.
