How Long Does Mice Extermination Take?

Have you ever wondered exactly how long it takes for an exterminator to get rid of mice? The reality is that the answer isn’t simple. It can be a different amount of time based on your specific situation than it would be for the next person. This is one of the reasons it’s so important to bring in an exterminator as soon as you realize you may have an infestation of mice.

Below, we’ll delve deeper into this subject and what you can expect based on what’s happening in your own home.

A Basic Timeline for Mice Extermination

If you need a simple preventative treatment applied at your home, the process tends to be quite simple and fast. You can expect this to take no more than an hour of your time. However, this type of treatment is designed to prevent mice from entering your home. It isn’t going to be the right choice if you already have an infestation to worry about.

Individuals who need extermination can expect the process to take longer. It could take anywhere from an hour or two to most of the day. This varies so much because infestations can range from fairly small to extremely massive. Larger infestations take more time to handle.

Factors That Impact How Long Extermination Takes

Several factors play into how long pest control will take. As mentioned, if you already have mice, the process will take longer. This is because there are several stages involved in removing the pests and preventing them from coming back. The steps include:

  • Determining what kind of pests are present as multiple might be in the home.
  • Finding how the mice are getting into the house.
  • Discovering and taking care of any conditions that led to the mice infestation (such as structural issues, water, food, etc.)
  • Exterminating the mice that are already present in your home.

The most common factors that determine how long it will take include the size of the infestation and how the extermination will take place. If other species are present, this could make the process more complicated.
