Rat & Mice Control

Rat and Mice Control in North Jersey and Staten Island

Rodent control in North Jersey and Staten Island has to fit the building. A Hudson County row house shares walls with its neighbors. A Bergen County home sits next to wooded lots and yards. A restaurant has deliveries, drains and dumpsters. Clearview Pest Control Inc. removes rats and mice from homes, apartment buildings and businesses, then seals the gaps they used to get in.

Call 201-706-7437 to book a rodent inspection. We answer calls 24/7.

How we get rid of rats and mice

  1. Inspect inside and out to find droppings, runways, gnaw marks and burrows.
  2. Identify the rodent, because rats and mice need different plans.
  3. Trap inside the building, placed along the routes rodents actually travel.
  4. Bait outside where needed, in locked, tamper-resistant stations.
  5. Seal entry points with materials rodents can’t chew through.
  6. Follow up to check traps, confirm activity is dropping and finish any sealing.

Rats or mice? How to tell

  • Norway rats are heavy, brownish-gray and blunt-nosed. They burrow under sheds, decks, stoops and along fences. They come in low: foundation cracks, pipe gaps, sewer lines and worn door sweeps.
  • House mice are small, gray-brown and big-eared. They climb and nest inside the building: wall voids, drop ceilings, insulation and behind appliances.
  • Droppings: mouse droppings are the size of a grain of rice. Rat droppings are closer to a raisin.
  • Where you find them: kitchen cabinets and ceilings point to mice. Basement floors and the foundation line point to rats.

Where rodents get into New Jersey buildings

A mouse fits through a gap about a quarter inch wide. A rat needs about half an inch. Common entry points we seal:

  • Gaps around water, gas and electrical lines where they enter the house.
  • Foundation cracks and settled sill plates in older frame homes.
  • Garage and basement doors with worn sweeps.
  • Dryer vents, window wells and crawl space vents.
  • Broken sewer laterals and dry floor drains.
  • Shared walls and roof junctions in attached houses, where mice travel from home to home.

We seal with copper or steel mesh and sealant, hardware cloth, metal flashing, mortar and new door sweeps.

Why we trap inside instead of using poison

A rat that eats poison inside a house often dies in a wall or under a floor. Then you have a smell for weeks and a dead animal removal job. Trapping inside lets us remove the rodents and confirm the numbers are dropping. Outside, bait goes only in locked stations fixed in place, away from children, pets and wildlife. Glue traps are cruel and miss most of the population, so we don’t rely on them.

Homes, apartment buildings and restaurants

  • Homes: trapping, sealing and yard work to remove burrows and hiding spots.
  • Multi-unit buildings: mice move through shared walls, so we plan across units, not one apartment at a time. Read rodent control in Hudson County multi-unit buildings.
  • Restaurants and businesses: exterior bait stations, interior monitoring and sealing at loading doors and utility lines. See commercial pest control.

Why rodents keep coming back

Two reasons explain most repeat problems. Trapping without sealing leaves the door open for the next rodent. Sealing without trapping traps rodents inside. Both steps have to happen. Construction nearby, a neighbor’s yard or a sewer problem can also drive new rodents to your foundation. That is why we look past your own walls during the inspection.

Frequently asked questions about rodent control

How long does it take to get rid of rats or mice?

For a typical house, activity usually drops within one to two weeks, with the problem resolved over three to four weeks and follow-up visits. It can take longer when the source is a neighboring property or nearby construction.

Is rodent control safe for kids and pets?

Inside the home we use traps, not loose poison. Any bait goes outside in locked, tamper-resistant stations that children and pets can’t open.

Do you seal the entry points?

Yes. Sealing is part of the job, not an extra. Without it, new rodents find the same gaps and the problem returns.

Can rats come up through drains?

Yes. Norway rats live in sewers and can enter through broken sewer lines, dry floor drains and old toilets. If you find rats in a basement with no outside gap, the plumbing is one of the first things we check.

Why do I have rats when my house is clean?

Rats follow shelter and water, and they range across a block. A neighbor’s bins, a nearby dig or a sewer line can bring them to your foundation. A clean kitchen with a gap under the basement door is still an open door.

Mike was amazing, I called around 7am and he came out same day early afternoon. He was thorough and efficient he inspected my entire apartment and exposed all the entry points that was leading to our pest issue. His prices are fair and he explains exactly what you will be getting and his best recommendations. Overall he was professional and I couldn’t have asked for more he also provided me with a lot of tips and some extra traps which was very helpful. If you’re having any pest related issues and considering calling an expert Mike is your guy, don’t hesitate.

Great dude handles all the work with a personal touch. Definitely represents customer service that is missing nowadays. We used to use the other company in Bayonne, price was way too high way too many add-ons for simple things. This company takes care of things without all the hassle.

I had a great experience with this company. I was dealing with a squirrel problem in my ceiling, and I’m so glad I called them. Mike, the technician, was extremely helpful and informative. He even took video footage from the roof to show me where the issue was. He clearly explained what needed to be done to fix it. I highly recommend this company for any rodent or extermination needs. Thanks again, Mike!

I called Clearview after researching a few pest companies but this was the only who was able to come on a Sunday. Mike returned my call in about 10 mins after leaving a voicemail. We talked through my concerns and he showed up within the hour. He explained everything to me , pointed out potential issues and closed up any entry points he found . He was very friendly and informative. I am so glad i found them . I will be signing up for the monthly service for my own piece of mind. As a new mom, it’s so important to be comfortable in your home. Thank you Clearview and Mike!
