Rodent Treatment

Pest control technicians use a variety of methods to eradicate mice from homes, and their approach often involves a combination of preventive measures, traps, and rodenticides. Here is our typical treatment method for eliminating mice from a home:

1. Inspection

The first step is to conduct a thorough inspection of the property to identify entry points, nesting areas, and the extent of the mouse infestation. We look for droppings, gnaw marks, and other signs of mouse activity.

2. Sanitation

Remove food sources: We advise homeowners to keep food stored in airtight containers, clean up crumbs, and eliminate open food sources. Proper sanitation reduces the attractiveness of the environment for mice.

3. Rodenticides

Bait stations: We use rodenticides placed in secure bait stations both inside and outside the home. These stations are designed to prevent access by children and pets while allowing mice to enter and consume the bait.

“What happens if my cat/dog eats a mouse that has eaten the bait?”
Nothing, the bait we use is the second generation of its kind and is metabolized by the mouse so that it will never be transferred to your pet. We are also very careful about placement of bait stations. They are applied strategically in areas where mice are likely to encounter them, minimizing the risk of unintended exposure to people or pets.

Some technicians set up traps in areas where mice are active, such as along walls, near entry points, or in known nesting areas. Common types of traps include snap traps, glue traps, and electronic traps. Learn More: Why We Do Not Use Traps

3. Education

Your technician will provide you with information on mouse prevention, sanitation practices, and ongoing maintenance to minimize the risk of future infestations. We give away all the secrets!

4. Follow-up

If necessary, we will schedule follow-up visits to assess the success of the treatment and make any needed adjustments. This ensures that the mouse infestation is fully addressed and prevents re-infestation.

It's important to note that the specific treatment plan may vary based on the severity of the infestation, the type of structure, and the preferences of the homeowner. We will tailor our approach to the unique circumstances of your infestation.
