Netcong is a small borough on the shores of Lake Musconetcong, with older homes close together near the lake, the river and the rail line. Prestige Pest Unit provides rodent removal, pest control and exterminator services in Netcong, NJ, from our base in Franklin.
Prestige Pest Unit is owner-run and based in Franklin, NJ, serving Netcong 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.
For bigger problems, our exterminator services cover the whole home.
Mice travel between homes that sit close together. We trap what is inside and seal the gaps so the problem does not come back.

In the fall, Netcong homes near the water see mice move into basements and walls. Seal up before the first freeze.
A typical Netcong year: ants in spring, mosquitoes by the lake in summer, then mice from late September.
On a fall visit we check the foundation, sill plate, vents, chimney and the gaps around pipes and wires, then seal what we find with materials mice cannot chew.

Netcong received its name from the Musconetcong River, named by the Lenape Native Americans and meaning “grass creek”, “swamp stream”, “rapid stream” or “clear stream place”. Along with the river, the proximity of the old Morris and Sussex Turnpike, which passed through the region shortly after 1801, and the coming of the Morris Canal, in 1831, made the site a favorable one for development.
After becoming a borough, the residents had to elect the first governing body. The first mayor was Abraham J. Drake, elected November 14, 1894. A census of Netcong taken July 1895 showed a population of 877 people.
Netcong derived much of its business from the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, which had its last stop in Morris County in the heart of the borough. The DL&W’s Sussex Branch to Branchville also stopped at Netcong Station, with the Sussex Branch coming into the opposite side of the station from where NJ Transit’s line is today. The big railroad roundhouse in Port Morris also supplied many jobs for the town residents.
