Mount Arlington was once a summer resort on Lake Hopatcong, and today its lake homes, hillside houses and older cottages all give mice a way in. Prestige Pest Unit provides rodent removal, pest control and exterminator services in Mount Arlington, NJ, from our base in Franklin.
Prestige Pest Unit is owner-run and based in Franklin, NJ, serving Mount Arlington and the rest of Morris County. Along with rat and mice control, we handle ants, termites, bed bugs, wasps and fall invaders like stink bugs.

Lake homes that sit empty for part of the year are where mice move in. We check them top to bottom and seal what we find.

A typical Mount Arlington year: carpenter ants in spring, mosquitoes and wasps by the lake in summer, then mice from late September.
Keeping firewood, birdseed and pet food away from the house and in sealed bins also helps. Mice and many insects follow the food.

While Mount Arlington is now mostly a suburban residential community, it was once a thriving resort community. In the era before the world wars and the advent of air travel, it was a welcome respite for the residents of nearby New York City and Newark.
Every summer, thousands would arrive by train at Landing Station, and then travel by water taxi across Lake Hopatcong to the area’s many large resort hotels to escape the city heat and enjoy the famous “Mount Arlington breeze” which always cooled the summer evenings. There was also a major amusement park, Bertrand Island, which featured a world-famous carousel and roller coaster, which operated until the park was closed in 1983.
Mount Arlington was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on November 3, 1890, from portions of Roxbury Township, based on the results of a referendum held two days earlier. Additional territory was acquired from Roxbury Township on July 25, 1891, on May 31, 1893, and on May 31, 1894. The borough is named for Henry Bennet, 1st Earl of Arlington.
