Situated in the country atmosphere of Hunterdon County, New Jersey, Califon is a gorgeous town with just around 1,000 residents. It provides a small-town feel with plenty of older homes located on quiet residential streets.

It is just far enough away from New York City that residents can feel as if they are removed from the problems inherent in a large metropolis.

However, the city provides easy access to major freeways heading to NYC, Philadelphia and Trenton.

First settled as a railroad town, Califon is a historic town with around 170 buildings currently on the National Register of Historic Places. Many homes and businesses feature the romantic Victorian look, causing visitors to feel as if they have stepped back in time.

History and modern culture collide in the quaint downtown, where individuals can shop at the bookstore, antique store, art gallery and mosaic shop. In addition, outdoor enthusiasts will love the atmosphere around the Raritan River where they can enjoy fly fishing, hiking and bird watching.

With buildings located so close to nature’s beauty, it is no wonder that many animals, rodents and insects like to make their way into Califon homes and businesses where they can find comfortable conditions and plenty of food.

Not only are the animals unwelcome because they carry dirt and disease, but also they are highly problematic because they create distasteful conditions that can drive away business.

In lawns and inside homes, pests may burrow holes, gnaw through wooden structures, create itchy bites and get into food supplies.

In businesses, these same pests can limit customers, ruin important equipment and even shut down such businesses as hotels or restaurants.

With thorough treatments from PermaKill Exterminating, individuals can say goodbye to these pests forever.

Ant Control

One of the pests that we frequently see in our line of work is ants. Many are familiar with tiny ants that infest kitchens.

However, carpenter ants are even more concerning because they are larger and can ruin the structural integrity of a building. In Califon where many of the buildings are made primarily from wood, carpenter ants can wreak havoc by quickly gnawing through structures and weakening them.

Carpenter ants are most drawn to damp wood, and their numbers can spiral out of control without immediate treatment.

Many times, carpenter ants have their nests outside a building, and a simple exterior treatment will keep them away from the foundation.

However, if carpenter ants are living within the building, we concentrate on moisture areas such as basements, kitchens, bathrooms where ants are most likely to nest.

Our warrantied treatment comes with an agreement. If carpenter ants reappear inside your home during the agreement we will retreat at no extra charge.

Rodent Control

Because rodents are far larger than ants are, many people believe that rodents will not cause them any problems within their homes or businesses.

However, many rodents can squeeze through tiny cracks in foundations and set up their nests within the walls. Mice are the most frequently seen rodents. However, we also treat rats and squirrels among others.

For mice removal treatments, we most often start with snaps set up in walls. After about a week, we will return to check the snaps. We will then replace them with baits or traps depending on the number of mice we believe to be present.

We also provide a Winter Rodent Renewal Plan. Under this plan, we check and refresh all baits from the previous year in the early fall. If mice reappear during the winter months, we will retreat at no extra charge.

Bee Control

Bees are a different type of pest because most of them are actually beneficial to the environment. They are needed to pollinate plants and have a vital role in the growth of much of the food in the nation. Honey bees are removed by a professional beekeeper.

We will eliminate the dangerous species from around doorways and eaves as well as from inside walls and warranty the treatment for 90 days.

We also treat other common stinging insects, such as wasps and hornets.
