Do You Have a House Mouse Control Problem?

Maybe you find those little black pellets that look like grains of rice. How did you drop rice in the corner? Maybe it’s seeing something scurry out of the corner of your eye. That looked too big to be a bug, didn’t it? Maybe it’s the sound of little footfalls and scratching in the walls. All of them reach an inevitable conclusion: you’ve got a mouse in the house and you realize in this moment that your mouse control has failed.

Get Rid of Mice

When you realize those black pellets that look like rice are mouse feces, when you realize that glimpse or that sound in the wall is a mouse, it’s frustrating. The last thing you want is mice. They’re a pain to catch, you don’t know what they’ve gotten into, and are these healthy mice or are they carrying a disease? You can’t exactly ask them.

You have to get rid of mice as soon as you’ve got them. They can carry disease, and they carry fleas and ticks that can transmit disease. If a flea hops off and later gets on you, that disease can be transmitted. If the mice get into your food, they can transmit those diseases there.

One mouse is rarely alone and if they get into the walls, they can go wherever they please. You need a Brevard County rodent control service to get rid of mice. We need to find where they are, extract and trap them all, and remove them fully.

Mouse Control

The next step is to keep mice out of your house. We have to identify what drew them there. This time of year, they’re looking for warmth and a dry space that provides them food. We’ll look for how they got in – crawlspace, garage, roof, gap in the foundation? We’ve got to seal that to keep mice out of your home in the future. We don’t just want to solve the problem now, we want to solve it going forward.

Securing food better and making sure water is properly draining and cleaned up is also important. Even something as simple as wiping up crumbs after cutting bread can make a difference.
