Hillside, NJ residents know that mice problems are a year-round reality in this densely populated Union County township. With aging housing stock, shared walls, and proximity to busy commercial corridors along Route 22 and Liberty Avenue, mice find it easy to move from structure to structure — especially as temperatures drop in fall and winter. At Sousa Exterminating Co., owner Filipe Sousa and his team provide fast, thorough, and affordable mice control tailored to Hillside's unique housing conditions. Whether you're in a multi-family building, a row house, or a converted Victorian, we identify entry points, eliminate active infestations, and help prevent future problems. We're bilingual in English, Portuguese, and Spanish — ready to serve every Hillside household.

The township borders Newark to the north and Elizabeth to the south, placing it at the intersection of heavy urban activity and older residential neighborhoods. Areas like the blocks surrounding North Broad Street, Union Avenue, and the residential streets off Liberty Avenue are lined with aging row houses, semi-detached homes, and multi-family Victorian-era buildings — many built before 1950. These structures often have deteriorating foundations, gaps around aging pipe penetrations, and crawl spaces that give mice easy, concealed access. The neighborhood near Hillside High School and the eastern residential corridors closer to the Elizabeth border feature dense, back-to-back housing where an infestation in one unit can quickly spread to neighbors. Newer construction along the township's commercial edges still faces pressure from mice displaced by nearby demolition and redevelopment activity. Seasonal migration — when outdoor food sources dry up and temperatures fall — drives mice indoors en masse, making proactive treatment essential for Hillside homeowners and landlords alike.
Sousa Exterminating begins every mice control job in Hillside with a comprehensive interior and exterior inspection. Filipe and his team walk the full perimeter of your property, identifying active entry points such as gaps around utility lines, foundation cracks, damaged door sweeps, and openings under siding. Inside, we check wall voids, basements, crawl spaces, kitchens, and utility areas for droppings, gnaw marks, nesting material, and runways. Treatment combines strategic placement of tamper-resistant bait stations, snap traps in high-activity zones, and mechanical exclusion — sealing identified entry points with steel wool, hardware cloth, and caulk to prevent re-entry. For multi-family properties and apartments, we coordinate with landlords to treat multiple units simultaneously when needed. A follow-up visit is scheduled to monitor bait stations, collect trapped mice, and confirm activity has stopped. Treatment starts at $150, and pricing scales with property size and severity. Call Filipe Sousa directly at 908-352-7959 to schedule your inspection today.
Final price depends on the size of the infestation, property type, and treatment method. Call Filipe at 908-352-7959 for a free, no-obligation quote specific to your Hillside home or business.
