MOUSE REMOVAL PROCESS

ASSESS AND REMOVE

Assess and Remove

You can’t resolve a mouse problem if you don’t know how they’re getting in. We begin with a thorough 50 point inspection of your home’s exterior and interior to identify all mouse entry points. We then remove the mice using expertly installed one-way doors that allow the mice to leave for food but prevent them from getting back in.

Mouse Troubles in Burlington

Burlington home and business owners deal with mouse issues and infestations every year. Mice are known to thrive in areas where they can find access to food, water, and shelter. As Burlington continues to grow with more commercial and residential areas each year, more of these resources become available – allowing mouse populations to thrive.

Mice might be small, yet the damage they cause is far from insignificant. They infest buildings, scurry through attics, chew on wires, and leave droppings that affect indoor air quality. A single breeding cycle can result in a rapid increase in mice, turning your home or business into a nesting ground and creating an urgent need for wildlife removal. Some of the problems mice can cause include:

  • Destruction of Physical Property: One of the primary concerns when dealing with an infestation is the destruction of physical property. They have sharp incisors that continue to grow, which they control by gnawing on materials in their environment. They also frequently create fire hazards by gnawing on electrical wiring. Their movement through and below insulation inside walls, ceilings and attics can also reduce its effectiveness over time.
  • Spread of Diseases: They carry an array of diseases, including hantavirus and salmonella, which can be harmful or even lethal to humans. People can contract these diseases when they come into contact with their urine, feces, saliva, or nesting materials. Even breathing in dust contaminated with these substances can have severe health implications.
  • Allergen Source: A seemingly lesser-known problem with infestations is allergy and asthma exacerbation. Mice produce allergens, which can trigger asthma attacks, particularly in children and the elderly. Also, their constant gnawing and defecating create dust particles contributing to poor indoor air quality.
  • Business Reputation: For businesses, an infestation can lead to a significant blow to your reputation. Visitors or customers spotting a rodent could severely affect their perception of your establishment. Mice infestations can also pose severe business and health-related risks, which is why timely measures for mouse control and removal are crucial for maintaining a safe and healthy environment.

Tips For Property Owners: How To Get Rid Of Mice

As a home or business owner in Burlington, dealing with mice can be tedious. However, several preventative measures can keep these rodents at bay, ensuring that your living or working space remains rodent-free. Here are some practical ways to maintaining a mouse-free environment:

Secure Entry Points: They are adept climbers and can squeeze through tiny openings. To prevent an infestation, examine your property thoroughly and repair any areas that could be potential mouse entry points.

Proper Food Storage: Even a single food crumb can invite rodents, making secure food storage essential. Keep all food items securely stored and ensure that surfaces are clean, including stovetops, countertops and other surfaces. Remember not to leave pet food out overnight.

Maintain a Clean Environment: They are less likely to inhabit clean, uncluttered spaces. Frequently clean trash cans, keep the yard tidy, store firewood away from the building, and keep the home clutter-free to deter the mice population.

Professional Help: Whenever you find it difficult to manage a serious infestation, consider calling in wildlife control professionals to take care of the problem. They will identify the source of the infestation and employ necessary control methods to get rid of these pesky rodents.
