Meet Matawan’s Branch Manager: Nick Ferrante Sr.

Nick Ferrante Sr. is living proof that Excel Pest Services is a company where hard work pays off. Starting as a technician in 1991 when Excel was just beginning its journey, Nick has spent over 35 years building a career with the company he helped grow. He’s worked his way up through every level of the organization, from the field to management, and that experience shows in everything he does. Today, Nick oversees the southern territory, managing three service centers and ensuring every customer receives the quality service that’s made Excel trusted for decades. At the Matawan branch, he leads a team of 10+ technicians with the wisdom of someone who’s been in their shoes. Nick lives in the Matawan area and understands the community he serves—its families, its businesses, its unique pest challenges. His approach is simple: hire good people, train them right, and give them the tools to do excellent work. After nearly 30 years, Nick’s commitment hasn’t changed: deliver quality service, build relationships, and be the kind of company he’d want to work for. That long-term thinking is what’s made the Matawan branch a trusted resource for Monmouth and Middlesex County customers.

A Matawan Native with 30 Years of Pest Control Experience

“I’ve been doing this for over 35 years now. When I started out, I thought this job was just about treating pests and moving on to the next customer. But it took me a while to figure out what it’s really about—it’s about doing what you say you’re going to do. It’s about showing up when you promise. I started as a technician in the field, worked my way up, but I never lost sight of that. I remember what it’s like to be out there doing the work. I know what customers expect. And I know what it takes to do it right. Over the years, I’ve worked in a lot of different areas, and I can tell you that Monmouth and Middlesex County have their own thing going on. The families here, the businesses—they all have different challenges. The Matawan branch gets that. We’re not trying to solve every problem the same way. We listen, we understand what you need, and we deliver. My team here, I train them the way I was trained. Pride in the work. Respect for the customer. Understanding that we’re not just fixing a bug problem—we’re protecting someone’s home or their business. After 35 years, that still matters to me. I want to work for a company I’d trust with my own family. That’s the bar. That’s what we’re doing in Matawan.”

The Matawan Branch Story: Built on Quality Service

When Excel Pest Services opened its Matawan office in November 2023, it brought with it nearly three decades of company experience and expertise. Located at 360 Main Street, the Matawan branch represents Excel’s commitment to serving Monmouth and Middlesex County with the same quality and dedication that’s defined the company since 1991.

Built on Experience, Rooted in Community


In less than a year since opening, the Matawan branch has established itself as a trusted pest control resource for families and businesses throughout the region. Led by Nick Ferrante Sr.—a veteran with nearly 30 years at Excel—the branch brings authentic expertise and local commitment to every customer interaction.

Monmouth and Middlesex County’s unique landscape—from coastal communities and shore properties to established residential neighborhoods and commercial areas—creates year-round pest challenges. Mosquitoes thrive in our coastal environment. Termites threaten older homes. Rodents and cockroaches affect both residential and commercial properties. The Matawan team understands these challenges and knows exactly how to address them.

Quality Service, Time-Tested Methods


Nick’s philosophy is simple: quality work, done right, every time. Our Matawan customers are already experiencing the difference that comes from working with a team led by someone who’s spent 30 years in this industry. We arrive on time, explain what we’re doing, and guarantee our work. If pests return between visits, we return free—our Worry-Free Pest-Free Guarantee.

A Legacy of Trust


The Matawan branch represents more than just a new location—it’s an extension of Excel’s 30-year legacy of quality service and community trust. Nick lives in the Matawan area and is personally invested in protecting his neighbors and their families. When you call Excel in Matawan, you’re calling a team with nearly three decades of proven expertise and a personal commitment to this community.

Why We’re Here

Local conditions all contribute to pest activity. Standing water and shaded trails are prime breeding grounds for mosquitoes and ticks. Freneau Woods Park’s expansive woodland habitat supports ants, spiders, and occasional wildlife, while older homes near downtown attract rodents and cockroaches.

Seasonal Pest Patterns

Spring/Summer: Rain and warm temperatures encourage mosquitoes, ants, ticks, and subterranean termites. Boat docks and puddles along park trails provide mosquito breeding sites, while ticks linger in brush near the Henry Hudson Trail.

Fall/Winter: Cooler weather drives mice, rats, and cockroaches indoors, often into basements or attics. Stink bugs and wildlife like raccoons or opossums may invade homes or garbage areas. Termites remain active year-round in moist soil near foundations.

Pest-Specific Details

Three disease-transmitting tick species are present in New Jersey: the black-legged (deer) tick, lone star tick, and American dog tick. All are active from early spring through late fall, especially in wooded or grassy areas. The Eastern Subterranean Termite is New Jersey’s prevailing termite species; it builds soil nests and enters homes through mud tubes. Drywood and dampwood termites are not native but can occasionally appear via infested wood.

Excel Pest Services in Matawan combats these threats with Integrated Pest Management (IPM), a method that includes detailed inspections, sealing entry points, controlling moisture, and applying low-toxicity treatments. Every plan is customized to fit the needs of lakeside homes, suburban neighborhoods, and local businesses, ensuring long-term Matawan pest services.

I called excel pest services due to buying a new house and wanting to safeguard any entry points for pests over the winter. I cannot say better things about the quality of service and their employees. Specifically Michael. Michael answered my millions of questions, listened to all my concerns and was so knowledgeable about all pests. He serviced our yard and, this isn’t related to pests services, but he was extremely friendly and playful with my over-excited golden retriever! I will definitely be contacting them again!
