We're based in Garfield and serve West New York and the rest of Hudson County. Same-day appointments are often available, but they depend on how many calls come in that day, so we can't promise one every time. A few things help:
If we can't come today, we'll give you the earliest time we have and tell you what to do until then. For other urgent problems, see emergency pest control.
Put open food, bread, cereal, rice and pet food into sealed containers or the fridge. Take the trash out tonight.
Close doors and put a rolled towel at the bottom of the door to the room where you saw it.
Spray them with a disinfectant or bleach solution, wait a few minutes, then wipe them up with gloves on.
Loose poison inside an apartment can mean a rodent dying in the wall and a bad smell for weeks, and it's dangerous for kids and pets.
If a rodent is trapped in a room or under the stove and won't leave, keep the door closed and call. Don't try to grab it.
Mice are the most common call inside apartments; rats are more common around trash areas, basements and backyards. The clues:
| Clue | House mouse | Norway rat |
|---|---|---|
| Droppings | Small, rice-sized, pointed ends | Larger, blunt, raisin-sized or bigger |
| Where you see them | Kitchen drawers, under the sink, behind the stove, closets | Basement, trash room, backyard, under stoops |
| Sounds | Light scratching in walls and ceilings at night | Heavier thumping or gnawing, lower in the building |
| Outside signs | Rarely any | Burrows by foundations, fences and trash cans |
| Smallest gap they fit | About the width of a pencil | About the width of a quarter |
Not sure? Text a photo of the droppings next to a coin to 973-510-2585.
We check the kitchen, bathroom, closets, radiator and pipe openings, and where possible the basement, trash area and the outside of the building.
Inside, traps go along the walls rodents actually use, in spots kids and pets can't reach. Outside, locked tamper-resistant stations where they make sense.
Gaps around pipes under the sink, behind the stove and radiators, and at door bottoms closed with materials rodents can't chew.
We come back to check the traps, remove rodents and adjust. Mouse service includes 90 days of coverage with unlimited free service calls.

West New York is one of the most densely populated towns in the country, built on the Palisades above the Hudson River. That density is a big part of why rodent problems here move from one home to the next.
If you live in an apartment, the mice in your kitchen are probably also in the units next door, above and below. Trapping only in your unit helps, but it won't fix the building. What works in West New York buildings:
Tenants: tell your landlord in writing and keep dated photos. Who pays depends on the lease and the building, and rules can change and differ by town, so check with West New York code enforcement or the NJ Department of Community Affairs. Our landlord and tenant guide explains the basics. Owners: see our apartment building pest control programs.
We schedule service around your hours, place traps and monitors in storage and prep areas, and check door sweeps and back-door gaps. Each visit is written down for your inspection file.
Stockrooms under and behind stores are where rodents settle. We set up monitoring, clear the entry points we find and tell you what to change in storage.
Locked, tamper-resistant stations outside, plus advice on dumpster lids, pickup times and keeping the area clean, cut down the food source that brings rats in.
Quotes are free. The price depends on:
| Factor | Smaller job | Bigger job |
|---|---|---|
| Rodent | A mouse or two in one kitchen | Rats, or mice on several floors |
| How long | Just noticed | Months of droppings, nests in walls or insulation |
| Building | One apartment or a single-family house | Whole building, mixed-use building or restaurant |
| Entry points | A few gaps under the sink | Many gaps, basement openings, damaged doors and vents |
| Trash area | Lidded cans, regular pickup | Open dumpsters, bags on the ground |

Often, yes. Same-day appointments are often available depending on the day's schedule. Call or text 973-510-2585 early in the day and tell us what you're seeing, your address and any access details like the super's number.
Usually. Mice breed quickly and travel in the same paths, so seeing one in the kitchen often means others nearby, especially in an apartment building. Droppings in more than one spot almost always mean several mice.
Most apartments see a big drop in the first week or two once traps are set and the gaps under the sink and behind the stove are sealed. If neighboring units have mice too, it takes longer unless the building is treated together.
Yes, when they're placed correctly. Inside we use traps in spots kids and pets can't reach, like behind appliances and under cabinets. Tell us about kids and pets when you book.
Rats are most active after dark and go where the food is. Open bags, overflowing cans and dumpsters with broken lids draw them. Locked stations outside and fixing the trash setup are what reduce them.
Yes. Mouse service includes 90 days of coverage with unlimited free service calls during that time.
It depends on the lease, the building and the situation, and the rules can change. Tell your landlord in writing, keep photos, and check with West New York code enforcement if nothing is done.
Through gaps around pipes and wires that run between floors, trash chutes, utility openings and doors. They can come up from the basement or the stores on the ground floor. Sealing those shared openings is part of the fix.
It depends on whether it's rats or mice, how long it's been going on, the size of the building and how many entry points need sealing. We give a free quote.
