Mice in Manhattan always the case?

Is it possible to have a mouse free apartment in NYC? We are thinking of moving back into the city, but I am TERRIFIED of mice, and that would be a good enough reason for me to deal with a 1.5 hour commute each way! Thanks in advance.Mice in Manhattan always the case?
There are mice everywhere. They are prolific breeders and can reproduce in about 21 days. New mice can mate in less than 2 months, so it is impossible to find a place where mice cannot live. They are the second most successful mammal after humans.





The secret to living with mice is to have a good trapping strategy. Keep traps out at all times with reasonably free bait. I think peanut butter works best. It is not impossible to have a mouse-free house if you stay on top of the trapping.
