You have heard me say this many times, I don’t work on my vehicle brakes because I don’t know anything about brakes but I know pests.

  • You must understand rodents; you must know their biology and their quirks. Do you know how far mice or rats travel from their home that is might be important in control?
  • How will you attack the situation, are you using traps or repeat devices or outside stations?
  • Have you purchased enough and what are you using?
  • Have you thought about consequences in using this equipment, is anybody at risk?

So before you decide to tackle this by yourself, maybe it might be inportant to call a Pro.

Rodent loved the bait so mush he never left.

Not a creature was stirring… facts about mice

Creature – Lets start with a few facts:

  1. A family of six mice can grow to 50 – 60 mice in only 90 days.
  2. Mice can just about live anywhere from the tropic to the cold regions.
  3. They love to nibble and again will just about nibble on anything.
  4. Urinate as they run, so not only eating things but damaging or contaminating as well.
  5. Mice can use cardboard as nesting materials.

A few tips to stop them from getting in and staying in.

  1. Home-seal, no holes – mice only need a hole the size of a dime.
  2. Always use gloves when transferring boxes from attic or garage.
  3. Make sure your garage door is sealed.
  4. Make sure your screen are in place and in good condition.
  5. Don’t leave pet food out, if storing please put in containers.
