In New York City and New Jersey, the most common mice species encountered are the House Mouse and the White-footed Mouse. Both house mice and white-footed mice are considered pests when they invade homes, businesses, and other structures in search of food, water, and shelter. Signs of a mice infestation can vary depending on the severity of the problem and the specific circumstances, but common signs to look out for include mouse droppings, gnaw markings, scurrying noises, and foul odors. While mice are small creatures, they can cause significant property damage if left unchecked. The different forms of property damage include damage to wood, plastic, wiring, insulation, and pipes.

To control mice infestations our professional experts will:

• Conduct a thorough inspection of the property to identify areas where mice are active, potential entry points, and signs of infestation such as droppings, gnaw marks, and nesting sites.

• Identify and seal off potential entry points that mice use to gain access to buildings, such as gaps, cracks, vents, pipes, or utility openings. This helps prevent mice from entering the property and reduces the likelihood of future infestations.

• Recommend and implement sanitation measures to eliminate food and water sources that attract mice. This can include proper storage of food and garbage, cleaning up spills and crumbs, and sealing off access to food and water sources.

• Use traps to capture and remove mice from the property. Traps can be placed in strategic locations based on the assessment of mouse activity and may include snap traps, live traps, or glue traps.

• Use rodenticides or bait stations to control mouse populations. These baits are placed in areas where mice are active and are designed to attract and kill mice. Pest control professionals use baits and rodenticides in accordance with local regulations and safety guidelines to minimize risks to humans, pets, and non-target wildlife.

• Monitor the effectiveness of treatments and may perform follow-up visits or adjustments as needed. This may involve re-inspections, re-baiting, or sealing off additional entry points to prevent re-infestation.
