Old Tappan, NJ Exterminator & Pest Control
The area is overwhelmingly a single-family home community, with large houses often set back on wooded lots. Many properties include pool houses, detached garages, and outbuildings located close to deer and rodent corridors. During the warmer months, mosquitoes breed along reservoir edges and ponds, while carpenter ants tunnel into damp porch columns. As autumn approaches, mice begin pushing in from surrounding tree lines. If you live in the area, you already know how this plays out.
We’ve worked across Bergen County for more than three decades, so we understand how Old Tappan’s waterside layout shapes pest activity. With that in mind, our licensed technicians use Integrated Pest Management programmes tailored to your specific needs. IPM focuses on inspection, exclusion, and targeted application to deliver long-term results.
Every treatment plan is eco-conscious, family- and pet-safe, and backed by our Worry-Free Pest Guarantee. With Excel Pest Services, if the pests come back, so do we, free of charge.

Our Exterminator & Pest Control Services in Old Tappan, NJ
Homes along the Lake Tappan shoreline and the Hackensack River, as well as wetland pockets and estate areas, tend to sit in the highest-risk zones when it comes to pest activity. Sheds and pool houses are recurring trouble spots, along with older homes in the area. These are also the places where we typically identify structural entry points, including:
Utility penetrations, dryer vents and AC line sets
Brick veneer with cracked weep holes or mortar joints
Soffit returns, ridge vents and attic gable vents
Garage doors, crawl space hatches and bulkhead doors
With a high water table and wetland habitat surrounding the borough, seasonal pest activity tends to start early and run longer into the year than in drier parts of the county.
Spring / Summer:
Mosquitoes breeding at pond edges, gutter troughs and soggy containers
Carpenter ants swarming out of damp framing and deck posts
Subterranean termite swarmers around foundation vents
Yellowjackets and paper wasps nesting in soffits and outbuildings
Ticks in tall grass along wooded property lines
Fall / Winter:
Mice and rats moving indoors as temperatures drop
Squirrels and raccoons pushing into attics and chimneys
Cluster flies and stink bugs gathering on sunny siding
Year-round:
Bed bugs hitchhiking in from travel and second-hand furniture
German cockroaches in kitchens and utility rooms
Silverfish and spiders in basements and crawl spaces
Our pest control service approach begins with a thorough inspection of the entire structure, grounds, and any outbuildings. We then move into IPM treatment that targets the root cause of pest activity and identifies entry points, rather than simply spraying indiscriminately.
We go on to seal gaps, offer landscaping, sanitation, and moisture control recommendations, and walk homeowners and property owners through what to look out for to ensure the problem doesn’t return.
For wildlife jobs, our licensed technicians handle humane trapping and removal, then close off the actual entry points so raccoons, squirrels, and groundhogs can’t get back in.
