Does your New Haven multi-family basement look like this?
Clutter. Bags on the floor. Dark corners. Open gaps where the wall meets the concrete. To you it's storage — to mice, it's a five-star hotel.
New Haven's older multi-family homes are especially vulnerable. Shared walls, aging foundations, and busy basements give mice everything they need to move in, breed, and spread from unit to unit before you even know they're there.
Here's what's actually attracting them:
🗂️ Items piled on the floor = hidden runways and nesting spots
📦 Cardboard boxes = nesting material
🪵 Wood shelving against concrete walls = prime harborage zones
🕳️ Gaps where wood meets concrete = entry points straight in from outside
What you can do right now:
✅ Get everything off the floor and into sealed plastic bins
✅ Pull shelving away from walls and inspect behind them
✅ Seal gaps at the base of walls with steel wool and caulk
✅ Make basement cleanliness part of your tenant agreement
✅ If you're already seeing droppings or hearing movement — don't wait.
