Why Mouse Control Matters in NYC
House mice are the most common pest in New York apartments. They enter through gaps as small as a dime, nest inside wall voids and appliances, and reproduce quickly. Our mouse control service clears the active population and seals the routes they use between units.
Mice contaminate far more than they eat. A small family of mice leaves thousands of droppings, urine trails on counters and inside cabinets, and gnaw damage on wiring and food packaging. In multi unit buildings, mice move between apartments through pipe chases and shared walls, so treating one unit without sealing it rarely holds.
When You Need Mouse Control
- Rice sized droppings in cabinets, drawers, and along walls
- Shredded paper or fabric nesting material behind appliances
- Light scratching sounds in walls or ceilings at night
- Musky odor in enclosed spaces
- Gnawed food packaging in pantries
How Do We Get Rid of Mice in NYC Apartments?
Every job follows the same discipline: find the source, eliminate it, seal it, verify it.
Unit and building inspection
We check kitchens, radiators, pipe penetrations, and shared walls to find the routes mice actually use.
Precision trapping
Snap traps and multi catch stations are set on runways behind stoves, under sinks, and along baseboards.
Sealing entry points
Every gap around pipes, radiators, and baseboards is filled with rodent proof materials, the step most exterminators skip.
Sanitation guidance
We flag the food and clutter conditions feeding the problem so results last.
Verification visit
A follow up confirms activity has stopped before we close the job.

The house mouse is perfectly engineered for pre-war New York. A building from the 1920s has had a century of renovations, each one leaving penetrations behind walls: abandoned pipe chases, oversized radiator sleeves, gaps behind cabinets installed over openings nobody sealed. Mice travel this hidden network between units freely, which is why the classic cycle — exterminator visits monthly, mice return weekly — never ends. The visit treats your unit; the network keeps delivering new tenants. Under the NYC Housing Maintenance Code, pest control in rental buildings is generally the landlord's responsibility, and buildings with three or more units carry explicit obligations, including indoor allergen hazard rules that specifically name mice. That legal backdrop matters: it means documentation of conditions has real value, whether you are a tenant pushing for a real fix or an owner protecting against violations. Our approach treats the unit and closes its connections to the network — the pipe chases, the radiator penetrations, the gaps under the sink — so your apartment stops being a stop on the building's mouse route. In our experience that single difference is why our apartment jobs end while monthly service contracts run forever.

Mouse Control Questions, Answered
Straight answers from licensed NYC technicians. Have a different question? Call 347-795-3007 — we pick up.
How do mice get into NYC apartments?
Through gaps around radiator pipes, under kitchen cabinets, behind stoves, and along shared walls. Mice need a hole about the size of a dime, and most pre war buildings have dozens of them per unit.
Is one mouse a big deal?
Usually there is no such thing as one mouse. Mice are social and breed fast, so one sighting in daylight typically means an established population nearby.
Do ultrasonic repellers work?
No. Independent testing consistently shows mice habituate to ultrasonic devices within days. Trapping plus sealing is what actually works.
Should my landlord pay for mouse control?
In NYC rental units, pest control is generally the landlord's responsibility under the Housing Maintenance Code. We work with both tenants and owners and can document conditions for either side.
