Pest Control.
Ants, spiders, mice. Handled.
Ants on the counter in May, spiders in every corner by August, mice in the garage the first cold night of October. The house gets treated on a schedule so you stop finding them.
Pick what you need. We look at the property and text you a number, usually the same day.
Home Pest Control
Home pest control in Bernardsville and the Somerset Hills
Most bugs in the house did not start in the house. They came in from the foundation, the mulch bed against the siding and the gap under the garage door. Treat the outside properly and the inside mostly takes care of itself.
The work is a perimeter program. The foundation, the door thresholds, the window frames, the deck posts and the mulch beds against the house all get treated on a schedule, which puts a barrier between the yard and your kitchen. Inside, problem spots get treated where they show up, and entry points get sealed where they can be. It is quieter and more effective than spraying inside every month.
What home pest control includes
- Exterior perimeter treatment on a schedule, foundation, thresholds, frames and beds
- Ants, spiders and crawling insects, carpenter ants included
- Wasps and hornets on the structure
- Mouse and rat exclusion, gaps found and sealed, bait stations outside, traps inside
- Interior spot treatment where a problem shows up
Ants and spiders
Carpenter ants and pavement ants are the two you see here. Both nest outside and forage in. The perimeter treatment intercepts the trail. Spiders are a sign of other bugs, since that is what they eat, so a house with a good exterior program has fewer of both. Wasps and hornets nesting on the house get dealt with when they show up.
Mice and rats
Every Somerset Hills house near woods or a stone wall gets mice the first cold week of fall. The answer is exclusion first, finding and sealing the gaps they use, then bait stations outside in tamper resistant boxes, then traps inside if they are already in. Poison scattered in the basement is not a plan and it is not what we do.
Licensed and careful
Structural pest control for hire is licensed work in New Jersey. Botti Home Services is licensed and insured, every application is logged, and products are chosen for a house with kids and pets in it. You get told what went down, where, and when it is dry.
Pest control pairs with the tick and mosquito program for the yard, and both go on the same quote and the same visit schedule as everything else on the property. If you are seeing something you cannot name, send a photo with the quote form and we will tell you what it is.

Quick answers.
How often is the house treated?
Most homes run quarterly. Heavier activity or a wooded lot runs monthly through the warm season.
Do you spray inside?
Only where a problem is showing. The program is built on the exterior perimeter, which is where the bugs come from.
Is it safe for pets?
Yes once dry, and rodent bait only ever goes in locked tamper resistant stations outside.
Do you handle mice?
Yes. Exclusion, stations and traps. Sealing the gaps is the part that actually ends it.
