Mice FAQ’s
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the inspection really free?
We give a free residential inspection for mice exclusion.
Do you offer a guarantee?
We offer a 1 Year Guarantee against mice for single-family homes. If mice find a new way in, we come back out, free of charge. We allow this Guarantee to be renewable because new entry points can open up over time. Keeping the coverage gives you peace of mind that you will stay mice-free.
Is your treatment safe?
Our treatment is locked in a safety box that is also a bait station. This is placed out of reach of children and pets.
Do you get rid of the mice afterward?
What makes your treatment different?
We use the best and most appealing bait on the market. It’s organic to their diet. It does come with a higher cost, but you won’t have mice avoiding it.
How did I get mice?
Mice enter homes for many reasons; even the cleanest of homes get mice. They may be drawn by food, water, or cooking odors, looking for new shelter or protection from predators and weather, foraging for nesting materials, or simply exploring! Mice are naturally curious and resourceful. Sometimes they just happen upon an entry point into your home and decide to visit.
Why is it important for me to rid my home of mice?
Mice are not only linked to numerous human diseases, such as Hantavirus, but can also destroy items in your home, including books, food, and furniture. The minute you suspect you have mice, please contact Mice Mob Exterminators.
Mice also carry diseases that can be transmitted via contaminated mouse urine or feces. These diseases include Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, Leptospirosis, Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis, Salmonellosis, and Tularemia.
Why am I still seeing mice after setting traps?
Traps can remove individual mice, but they don’t stop new mice from entering your home. As long as you have entry points, mice can continue coming inside following the scent trails previous mice have left behind. The key to solving the problem long-term is finding and sealing those entry points – our expertise!
How long does it take to get rid of mice?
Every home and infestation is different. Once treatment begins and the entry points are properly sealed, depending on the activity in the home, mouse activity should stop on average anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
Seasonal Mouse Behavior
Mouse activity can change throughout the year as mice respond to temperature, weather, food availability, and other conditions in their environment. During warmer months, food is generally more plentiful outdoors and mouse populations can increase as they breed.
As temperatures begin to drop and outdoor food sources become less abundant, mice are more likely to seek the food, warmth, and shelter provided by homes and buildings. This is why many homeowners first notice signs of mice in the fall and early winter.
Mice can live and breed indoors year-round, however, so a mouse problem isn’t limited to any particular season. If mice have access to your home, activity can occur at any time of year.
Seasonal Mouse Control
Mice can enter homes at any time of year, so mouse control isn’t just a seasonal concern. However, spring, summer, and early fall are excellent times to have your home inspected and mouse-proofed. Favorable weather provides better access to exterior entry points, allowing problems to be identified and sealed before colder weather can drive more mice toward homes for food and shelter.
Keeping your property maintained can also make it less inviting to mice. Keep grass and landscaping trimmed, remove accumulated leaves and debris, and avoid storing materials directly against the foundation where mice can find cover.
