Mice are more than an inconvenience: they pose serious health risks by contaminating food, spreading disease, and damaging property with their constant gnawing. The two common species in our region are the deer mouse, named for its deer-like markings, and the very common house mouse.
Their small size and agile nature make them difficult to eliminate without professional help. We remove mice through a comprehensive approach — inspecting for entry points, nests, and food sources, then combining baiting with exclusion to prevent future invasions.
How to identify
- Size: typically 2–4 inches long, with a long thin tail
- Weight: about 1 ounce
- Small pointed noses, large ears, and light bodies
- More likely to enter homes in fall in search of food and shelter
Signs of an infestation
- Small dark droppings resembling black grains of rice
- Gnaw marks on food packaging, wood, and wiring
- Greasy smudge marks along walls and entry points
- Scratching sounds in walls or ceilings at night
Risks & concerns
- Spread bacteria and disease (Hantavirus, Salmonella, Leptospirosis)
- Contaminate food and food-prep surfaces
- Gnaw electrical wiring, creating fire hazards
- Trigger allergic reactions
How we treat mice
We combine tamper-resistant baiting with professional exclusion — sealing entry points using durable, mouse-proof materials — and document everything in a photo report. Exclusion work is backed by a one-year guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
Baiting alone only removes the mice you already have — permanent control requires exclusion: professionally sealing every entry point with durable, mouse-proof materials so new mice can’t get in. We combine both and back the exclusion work with a one-year guarantee.
Yes, in most cases and when done properly . DIY traps and store-bought bait handle individual mice but most home owners, and even other pest control companies, will rarely find and seal the appropriate entry points. A professional inspection will locate every gap, then we seal it, while clearing the existing population — that combination is what actually solves the problem long-term.
Cost depends on the severity of the infestation and how many entry points need sealing. We provide a straightforward, no-obligation estimate after inspecting your home — call or text us for a free quote.
The most effective approach combines tamper-resistant interior baiting with exterior exclusion sealing — not one or the other. Sealing alone stops new mice from entering; baiting clears the ones already inside.
