Pest control for Succasunna and Roxbury Township homes
Succasunna is the center of Roxbury Township, with busy neighborhoods, older homes and wooded edges all close together. Prestige Pest Unit provides pest control, exterminator services and rodent removal in Succasunna, NJ, from our base in Franklin.
Prestige Pest Unit is an owner-run company based in Franklin, NJ, serving Sussex and Morris County. We treat each home based on what we find there, not a one-size package.
Our exterminator services also cover termites, bed bugs, roaches and wasp nests, so one company handles it all.
Neighborhood homes share the same pests, so one home with mice often means the street has them. We check the whole house and show you exactly where pests get in.
In the fall, Succasunna homes see mice, stink bugs and lady beetles head for warm walls. Book the sealing visit before the first frost.
A typical Succasunna year: ants in spring, wasps and yellow jackets in summer, then mice and fall invaders from late September.
Stink bugs and lady beetles gather on sunny south and west walls first. Sealing around windows, siding and attic vents on those sides keeps most of them out.

The name of Succasunna comes from the Lenni-Lenape Native American word for “land of black stones”, most likely due to the rich iron-ore deposits in the area. The community was established circa 1740.
The Morris Canal was an important transportation link in the iron industry around Succasunna, carrying coal to iron-ore producing areas all over northern New Jersey. The canal was abandoned in 1924 and largely dismantled.
Succasunna was the site of the world’s first electronic switching public telephone exchange. The Western Electric model 1ESS system was cut over for service on the New Jersey Bell 584 central office on May 30, 1965. A commemorative plaque on the wall of the central office building notes this historic event. Instead of electro-mechanical relays, the 1ESS was the first commercial computerized electronic switching system. This innovation allowed for features of modern telephone service, like call forwarding, call waiting, and three-way calling.
