What a technician typically checks
A technician typically identifies whether it is mice or rats, finds entry points and runways, and explains trapping, baiting and exclusion (sealing gaps) options.
Before the visit
Store food in sealed containers, keep pet food put away overnight, and do not sweep or vacuum droppings dry. Wet them with disinfectant and wear gloves when cleaning up.
Frequently asked questions
Is this line for mice and rats only?
Yes. Small rodents such as mice and rats are covered. Squirrels, raccoons and other wildlife are not handled through this line.
Why do mice come inside in fall?
Cooler weather and fewer food sources outside push mice toward warm buildings, and they can squeeze through very small gaps.
Are rodent droppings dangerous?
Rodent droppings and urine can carry disease. Avoid stirring up dust when cleaning and get professional help with heavy contamination.
