Rodent control in Bayonne starts with the housing. Much of the city is attached and semi-attached row houses and older frame homes, close together on narrow lots. Mice travel along shared walls from house to house. Norway rats burrow in yards and along foundations, and come up through old sewer lines. Clearview Pest Control Inc. is based at 182 West 31st Street, and we remove rats and mice in homes, apartments and businesses across the city.

Why Bayonne homes get rats and mice
- Attached houses. Mice move through party walls, shared basements and roof junctions. One house treated alone often gets mice back from the next.
- Older foundations and sewer lines. Settled sills, old stone and brick, and cracked sewer laterals let rats into basements.
- The Broadway corridor. Restaurants, food shops and dumpsters behind them feed rats that spread into nearby homes.
- Waterfront and industrial edges. Rats live along the former Military Ocean Terminal side and the industrial waterfront, and move into blocks next to them.
- Yards and alleys. Bins, compost, bird feeders and clutter along fences give rats food and cover.
How we get rid of rats and mice
- Inspect and map runways inside and out: droppings, rub marks, gnaw marks and burrows.
- Trap inside. We don’t use poison inside your home, so rodents don’t die in the walls.
- Bait outside where needed, in locked, tamper-resistant stations.
- Seal with copper mesh, hardware cloth, sheet metal or mortar, door sweeps and sill screening.
- Treat yard burrows and recommend sanitation changes.
- Follow up until activity stops.
Most homes see a clear drop in one to two weeks, with the problem resolved in three to four weeks. See rat and mice control for the full method.

Frequently asked questions about rodent control in Bayonne
Why do I have rats when my house is clean?
Rats range across the block. A neighbor’s bins, a restaurant on the avenue or a broken sewer line can bring them to your foundation. Sealing the house is what keeps them out.
Do you use poison inside?
No. Inside we trap. Bait goes only in locked exterior stations.
My neighbor has rats. What can I do?
Seal your side: the foundation, the shared basement wall, pipe gaps and door sweeps. Exterior stations on your property help too. You can’t treat your neighbor’s home, but you can close the routes into yours.
The droppings are small. Is it rats or mice?
Rice-sized droppings are mice. Raisin-sized are rats. We confirm at the inspection, because the plan is different for each.
