OUR MICE AND RAT SOLUTIONS

Mice can enter through a dime size hole. They breed every six weeks. They can be controlled with traps, glue boards and baits. The most important thing is to eradicate mice for good. Locate the entry points on the outside of the house then patch them up. We will look for these points and fill them with foam, mortor or caulking. Still there may be entry points that are hidden behind steps or under decks. Its easy for them to enter from the roof. Mice are quick climbers, and can get in and out under the drip edge above the gutters. In this case we can only eliminate the new mice as they enter. We have no way to build them out in some cases. but we can keep them dying. |
