DURHAM MOUSE REMOVAL

MOUSE REMOVAL PROCESS

Assess and Remove

You can’t resolve a mouse problem if you don’t know how they’re getting in. We begin with a thorough 50 point inspection of your home’s exterior and interior to identify all mouse entry points. We then remove the mice using expertly installed one-way doors that allow the mice to leave for food but prevent them from getting back in.

Clear and Clean

Mice are messy, leaving droppings and urine behind wherever they go. Skedaddle offers cleaning and sanitizing services to safely remove harmful mouse droppings and contaminated building materials to return your home to a liveable state.

Prevent and Protect

The results from our initial home inspection will provide us with a full understanding of what areas of your home needs to be sealed against future mice infestations. Our wildlife technicians will use professional grade wildlife exclusion materials to prevent any possible re-entry and keep mice out.

While other pests and wildlife are migrating and hibernating for the winter in Durham, mice are just as active as ever. These resourceful creatures simply find their way into a warm winter shelter and continue to eat, reproduce, and increase the risk of spreading diseases. As you prepare for the winter season, carefully inspect your home for any cracks or crevices where a mouse may enter. Once inside your home, mice tend to build nests in your attic, wall cavities, and basement. Mice that have recently arrived in your home may be more active as they attempt to create a stockpile of food. Other rodents that entered your home in the fall will likely be more secluded in the winter, since they may already have a stockpile of food in low-traffic areas of your home.

A mouse in your home can result in a number of health concerns. Although it’s completely normal to have mice seeking entry to your home or already living in your low-traffic areas, it’s best to work with a wildlife control expert to evict these rodents and restore your home.

Mice Facts

Here are some facts you should know about mice in your home:

FACT:

An adult mouse can fit through a hole as small as 6 millimetres in diameter.

FACT:

While you may only see a single mouse, it’s likely that there are many more hiding in your home.

FACT:

Mice reproduce at a rapid rate. An eight-week-old female can have as many as six pups at a time. They reproduce all year.

FACT:

Mice infestations can lead to unsanitary conditions inside homes and can cause multiple health risks. Studies have linked mouse droppings in houses to asthma symptoms in children.

FACT:

House cats usually do a lousy job of keeping mice out of houses. It’s not always their fault, they just can’t get into the walls, ceilings and attics where mice like to spend their time.

FACT:

Mice tend to damage drywall, insulation, and other materials in your home. An infestation can reduce the energy efficiency of your home and increase the risk of an electrical fire.

FACT:

Traps alone won’t solve your mouse problem for good. Even if you trap or remove all the mice you see, others will likely use same entry points to get into your home in the future.

FACT:

Traps, poison, and other DIY pest removal options are inhumane and can be ineffective. Poisoned rodents may die in your wall cavities or other hard-to-reach areas, leaving an unpleasant odour and increasing the risk of infection.
