MOUSE REMOVAL PROCESS

ASSESS AND REMOVE

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.

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.

How to Protect Your Property from Mice

Mice can be much more than a nuisance—they can cause significant damage to your property and pose serious health risks. Understanding their habits and taking proactive steps to keep them out can save you time, money, and stress.

Mice are prolific breeders, with females capable of producing up to 10 litters a year. What starts as a small issue can quickly escalate into a full-blown problem if left unchecked. Beyond their rapid reproduction, mice are known for causing property damage.

They chew through wires, insulation, furniture, and even walls, leading to costly repairs. Additionally, mice can contaminate food and surfaces with bacteria and viruses, increasing the risk of illness for those in your home or business.

Keeping mice out of your property requires planning and preventative measures. Here are a few simple yet effective steps to minimize their access:

  • Seal cracks and holes in foundations, walls, and around utility entry points.
  • Store food in airtight containers and ensure that crumbs are cleaned up promptly.
  • Maintain a clutter-free environment by removing storage piles where mice may shelter.
  • Trim vegetation around your property to remove hiding spots near walls and entryways.

Despite your best efforts, even well-secured homes and businesses can occasionally have issues with determined mice. In such cases, humane methods such as exclusion techniques and professional wildlife management services are the best way to regain control and protect your peace of mind.

Mouse Facts

FACT:

Mice are incredibly agile and can jump up to 25 cm (about 10 inches) high. They’re also excellent climbers, capable of scaling vertical surfaces and even walking along thin wires or ropes.

FACT:

A mouse’s teeth never stop growing! To keep them in check, they constantly gnaw on materials like wood, plastic, and even electrical wires, which is why they can cause so much damage in homes.

FACT:

Mice can squeeze through openings as small as 6 mm (about the size of a pencil). Their flexible skeletons make it easy for them to slip into tight spaces.

FACT:

Mice are highly social and live in groups. They communicate with each other using ultrasonic sounds, which are too high-pitched for humans to hear.

FACT:

Once a mouse learns a route to food or shelter, it rarely forgets it. Their spatial memory helps them navigate mazes and find their way back to safe spots.
