Hi. So I am moving to an apartment in a nice, clean building. However, the previous tenants told me that they had mice.

I checked out the apartment carefully and saw no signs of vermin, but the previous tenants advised me to "seal up all the holes around the apartment." How would you mouse proof an urban apartment? In NYC, all buildings have mice or bugs.

    Steel wool is your answer. I'm NYC born and raised and lived there most of my adult life. Cockroaches can be a bigger problem. Seal everything up us tight as you can, use the traps baited with peanut butter as suggested above then hire a weekly extermination service. It's best if the whole building is done weekly if they will pay for it. Good luck. BTW, I now live in the country (well, not country but not suburbs either) and I have all other sorts of vermin. Squirrels and chipmunks are ...»
    rats and mice with furry tails and cute stripes. They are just as destructive and carry disease too. So enjoy the city life!
