Norway rats and house mice work basements, utility chases, and alleys across Jersey City year-round, and push harder indoors as temperatures drop each fall. Bait stations alone rarely solve an active infestation — the fix is combining tamper-resistant bait placement with structural exclusion that closes the entry points rodents are actually using.
In Jersey City's older buildings, the most common entry points are foundation gaps, utility line penetrations, and gaps around basement doors and windows — all easy for a mouse, and many for a rat, to exploit. Restaurants and food-service properties see additional pressure from dumpster areas and loading docks.
We inspect the full exterior and basement to identify active entry points, seal what we can on the spot, and place tamper-resistant bait stations at key harborage and travel areas. For ongoing rodent pressure — common in restaurants, multi-family basements, and older buildings near construction sites — a monthly or quarterly program keeps bait stations serviced and catches new activity before it becomes an infestation.

| Pest | Treatment Approach |

| House Mouse | Interior/exterior bait stations, gap sealing, snap trapping |
| Commercial/Restaurant | Monthly documented bait station service |
Single visit for a specific issue. Inspection, written plan, treatment, and a 30-day return-visit warranty.
Four visits per year. Best for owner-occupied units, condos, and small offices.
Twelve visits per year. Standard for restaurants, food service, and multi-family buildings.
Droppings, gnaw marks, and grease trails along baseboards are common signs of both. Mice leave smaller droppings and can fit through gaps the size of a dime; rats need a gap closer to a quarter.
It's the single most effective step. Bait reduces an existing population, but if the entry points stay open, new rodents keep arriving.
We use tamper-resistant, lockable bait stations placed in areas kids and pets can't access, standard in both residential and commercial jobs.
One-time service runs $150-$250. Ongoing monthly or quarterly bait station service for restaurants and multi-family buildings is quoted after inspection.
Same-day in most cases for calls placed before 3 PM on a weekday.
