Mice keeping you awake at night?
Hearing noises when you are trying to sleep? Are mice keeping you awake at night? It’s time to call professional exterminators to eliminate the pitter patter of mice in your attic, and other areas too. Mice are not just noise makers, they cause more harm than their annoying noise pollution. Mice are constantly urinating and defecating where ever they go. This can cause all sorts of health problems including asthma flare ups and flu-like symptoms from being in contact with surfaces they frequented. They transmit diseases and bacteria and can be a problem for sensitive individuals. Mice are literally getting smarter every year. The same old wood snap traps in the middle of floor are not enough to remove an infestation. You need to attack the problem on several fronts. This includes the exterior and checking for entry ways such as penetrations create from pipes, electrical and bad construction. Control involves constant inspection and often treatment. To seal a house up 100% and thinking you can prevent mice once and for all is a bit unrealistic. Sure, there maybe situations and homes that respond better than others but getting on a recurring program is the best peace-of-you mind you can get to ensure control is efficient and continuous. Call or book online today to start your service for mice and other pests too. Our home Protection Plans include several other very common home invaders. Set it, forget it, let us handle it.
Hungry Mice eat plastic
Rodents were working hard to chew inside this bait station. They ate the sticker complete on one station. Mice…I can assure the bait inside is way more appetizing than the plastic!
Tell Tale Signs of Mice
Some tell tale signs that you have rodents in your attic. In these examples you can see burrowing or tunneling from mice in the insulation (marked in blue) and also mice fecal droppings (yellow). Call us today to learn more about rodent control programs and fecal clean up services. We also can remove and replace attic insulation.
Rodents and Stone Foundations
A couple of signs that you may have a rodent problem. This kind of burrow is very common in homes with a stone foundation. This happens to be from rats, but mice burrowing looks very similar. Mice and rats use the stone foundation as the perfect home. They easily can make a home within and remain fairly well protected. Foundations like these let in more than mice or rats. They also allow entry for insects, snakes and moisture. Parging or cementing the walls is going to give you a barrier from these pests.
Fixing gaps to prevent mice…
Gaps like this one around a dryer vent hose in the basement need to be sealed properly to prevent mice from entering the structure. This gap is so large you can feel a heavy air current coming thru the foundation. This is the first step to preventing your home from getting infested with mice or other pests. Exclusion for mice is a service we offer and works well when paired with a rodent maintenance plan. Call or go online today to schedule a no charge general pest inspection.
Northern Ring-necked Snake
Found. Northern Ring-necked Snake. These pretty looking snakes don’t get very big (max out at 15 inches) and like to eat insects and salamanders. They don’t bite but do release a musk when threatened. This little fellow expired long before I picked it up.
These rodent athletes are going to the olympics
Rodents are excellent athletes. Mice and rats and climb extremely well. Rodents like mice don’t need to gain entry into your home thru the ground level, they can climb up the side and enter through the attic instead. A thorough inspection for possible entry points is key in preventing mice or rats from getting inside. Having a regular maintenance plan is going to ensure you have a professional set of eyes inspecting for these entry points several times a year. Call us to set up your home protection plan and get control of mice and rats today.
