Professional Mouse Control for Your Home

Mice are one of the most common rodent problems homeowners face in Northern New Jersey, especially during the cooler months. Once mice find a way inside, they can quickly spread through basements, garages, kitchens, attics, crawlspaces, and wall voids.

At Howey Pest Solutions, we do more than place a few traps. Our licensed technicians inspect the home, identify signs of activity, look for possible entry points, set up the proper control equipment, and provide recommendations to help prevent future mouse problems.

Signs You May Have Mice

🐭 Mouse droppings in cabinets, drawers, garages, basements, or attics
🔊 Scratching or movement sounds in walls or ceilings
📦 Chewed food packaging, cardboard, insulation, or stored items
👃 Musty or rodent-like odors
🧱 Small gaps or openings around the foundation, garage, or utility lines
🐾 Grease marks, runways, or nesting material

Where Mice Commonly Enter Homes

Mice can squeeze through very small openings and often enter homes through gaps around the foundation, garage doors, siding, pipes, vents, and utility lines.

Garage door gaps
Foundation cracks and openings
Utility pipe and wire penetrations
Basement doors and bulkhead doors
Siding gaps and corner trim
Vents, crawlspace doors, and exterior access points

Our Mouse Inspection Process

Every mouse service starts with a detailed inspection to identify activity, possible entry points, and conditions that may be attracting rodents.

Interior inspection of active areas
Basement, garage, attic, and crawlspace inspection when accessible
Exterior foundation inspection
Identification of droppings, nesting, chewing, or runways
Inspection for entry points and rodent access areas
Treatment and prevention recommendations

Our Mouse Control Process

Mouse control is customized based on activity level, home layout, and the areas where mice are being seen or heard. Service may include:

Traps placed in targeted areas
Interior bait stations when appropriate
Exterior rodent bait stations when needed
Monitoring of rodent activity
Small gap sealing when included and accessible
Recommendations for exclusion, sanitation, and prevention

Customized Mouse Control Solutions

Every mouse problem is different. The size of the home, the level of activity, entry points, and the treatment needed all play a role in determining the best solution.

That's why we begin every mouse service with a FREE professional inspection. During the inspection, one of our licensed technicians will evaluate the problem, identify where mice may be entering, discuss your treatment options, and provide a recommendation tailored to your home or business.

Whether you need help with an active mouse issue or year-round protection through one of our Home Defense Plans, we'll help you choose the solution that best fits your needs.

Ongoing Rodent Monitoring

For properties with ongoing rodent pressure, we offer professional rodent monitoring programs using strategically placed interior and exterior bait stations.

During scheduled visits, our technicians inspect each station, replace bait as needed, monitor rodent activity, and make recommendations to help keep your home protected throughout the year.

Ask us about adding rodent monitoring to your Home Defense Service Plan for year-round peace of mind.

Included in Home Defense Plans

Mice are a covered pest under our Home Defense Service Plan. During quarterly services, we inspect key areas, set up or service traps and bait stations as needed, inspect the exterior, and provide complimentary service calls for covered rodent activity between scheduled visits.

If you are looking for year-round prevention instead of a one-time rodent service, our Home Defense Plan may be the best option.

Why Mice Invade Homes

Mice usually enter homes looking for warmth, shelter, food, and nesting areas. Once inside, they can reproduce quickly and become harder to control if left untreated.

Cold weather
Food crumbs or pet food
Cluttered storage areas
Open garage doors or damaged seals
Small exterior gaps and entry points
Nearby woods, fields, sheds, or stone walls

How to Help Prevent Mice

Store food and pet food in sealed containers
Keep garages, basements, and storage areas organized
Seal small openings around the exterior
Replace worn garage door seals
Remove clutter, cardboard, and nesting materials
Keep vegetation and debris away from the foundation

Important Rodent Safety Information

Rodents can contaminate food, leave droppings, damage insulation, chew wiring, and spread bacteria. Avoid sweeping or vacuuming heavy droppings without proper precautions, as this can stir up particles into the air.

If you find a large amount of droppings or nesting material, contact a professional before disturbing the area.

Mouse Control FAQs

How do I know if I have mice?

Common signs include droppings, scratching noises, chewed packaging, nesting material, and sightings of live or dead mice.

How long does it take to get rid of mice?

Every situation is different, but many customers notice improvement within one to three weeks depending on the level of activity and entry points.

Can mice come back after treatment?

Yes. If entry points remain open, mice can return. That is why inspection, monitoring, and exclusion recommendations are important.

Do you seal entry points?

We may seal small accessible openings when included with the service. Larger exclusion work may require a separate estimate.

Do I need to be home for mouse service?

If interior access is needed, an adult must be present. Exterior bait station service may not require anyone to be home as long as we have access.

Do you offer free mouse inspections?

Yes. We offer free mouse inspections and quotes for residential and commercial customers.

Are mice covered under the Home Defense Plan?

Yes. Mice are included in the Home Defense Service Plan.
