Many people want to know how to get rid of mice for good. Mice often live in the attics, walls, ceilings, and other parts of homes. They routinely climb down wires and pipes and enter the house through small gaps in the walls, and raid the pantry. People have a few ideas when it comes to mouse control.
- Set out some mouse poison
- Lay out a few sticky glue traps
- Set some mouse snap traps
- Use a high-pitched noise machine
- Get a cat
Tut-tut, these methods will most certainly not get rid of mice. Yes, they will get a single mouse here and there, or several, but for every one you see in your trap or that Fluffy the cat lays at your feet, a whole bunch will not be caught. They will continue to breed, continue to poop in the attic, gnaw on your food, chew electrical wires, and so on. And don't get me started on poison. It's a really bad idea for several reasons, first because it doesn't ever solve the problem, and second because it leaves stinking dead mouse carcasses in your house. We get rid of all the mice,
permanently with full guarantee. Here is our process for total mouse elimination:
Inspection: We inspect the house to see how mice can get in. They are expert climbers, and can fit into very tiny gaps, or holes as small as a dime. It's amazing, the small size of the holes they can enter! We find all such areas, and we seal them shut permanently, with steel, to prevent the mice from getting back in again. This is the most crucial step. If you miss just one spot, or leave one vulnerable area open that mice can chew back into, then the job will fail.
Trapping: Like I said, don't use poison! Once we've got the whole house or building sealed up, and no more mice can get in or out, we trap and remove all of the mice. Mice are very easy to trap, if you set the right types of traps in the right areas. You can't just put a few traps scattered here and there. We set dozens, in the exact areas that mice inhabit most, in your attic and wherever else they frequent. There's a whole bunch of mice traps out there, and some work well, and others don't. We've tried them all, and we know which traps are best and which are gimmicks.
Follow-Up: We return to inspect the house, and look for any fresh mice activity - it's easy to spot. We make sure all of our areas that we've sealed are shut. We remove any trapped mice and replace traps until there is absolutely no more sign of mice - no more caught, no more evidence, no footprint, droppings, chewing, and none are heard. We make sure that the problem is completely solved, 100%, permanently, before we call the job complete.
Cleanup: If the mice have left a lot of droppings and urine in the attic, it can serve as a powerful signal to attract new mice to the attic, and it can also pose a potential biohazard. Mice carry many diseases. We fog the attic with a special enzyme-based biohazard cleaner that kills all bacteria, pathogens, and parasites that mice carry.
