Mice
Mice can be a common problem in households, especially during the colder months when they seek shelter and food. These tiny rodents can wreak havoc on your home, chewing through wires, insulation, and even causing fires. Not to mention the health hazards they pose by contaminating food sources and leaving droppings behind. Proper pest control techniques will help you control these pesky critters.

If you suspect that you have a mouse problem, the first step in the pest control process is to identify and seal any entry points. Mice can fit through holes as small as a dime, so it's important to inspect your home thoroughly for any potential entry points. Common areas to check include gaps around pipes, vents, and windows. Remember: controlling environmental factors and sealing entry points are the most important aspects of any pest control service.
Once you've identified potential entry points, it's time to set traps. Snap traps are an effective and humane way to catch mice. Place the traps in areas where you've seen mouse activity, such as near food sources or along walls. It is also a good idea to set traps in the crawlspace or attic as mice will often nest in the insulation below or above the home. Be sure to check the traps frequently and dispose of any caught mice promptly.
Pro tip: Mice and rats have different habits so setting traps will look slightly different for each of them. Make sure your pest control program includes some form of identification for what type of rodent you’re dealing with.
If you're having trouble catching mice or suspect that there may be more hiding in your home, it's best to call in a professional pest control service.

I hired Pestpatrol to take care of an ant problem inside my home. Gabe was professional, patient and very thorough when he diagnosed the problem. He communicated what the solution was, discussed safety of the recommended products and performed the work efficiently. I would not hesitate to recommend pestpatrol.
My shop has had an infestation of rats for over 9 years! I tried traps and occasionally caught a rat but always they came back. On their first visit we discovered two entry points for the rats and plugged them up. After a few rats caught, my shop has returned to normalcy. Thank you Pest Patrol.
