Rodent and Mouse Control Services

Yes, when we are inspecting for and treating mice, we need to go inside your home. Because we do have to go inside, we will call in advance and schedule a specific time for your service.

Mouse control is an ongoing process, depending on the severity of the infestation, we may come quarterly, monthly, or even weekly. There are a variety of treatment methods for mice, ranging from blocking their access to your home (exclusion), to snap traps or rodent bait. Some situations require external devices, others do not. Your technician will discuss their treatment and frequency recommendation with you when they are at your home for service.

Yes. In a residential environment, any materials used will be approved by the EPA for use inside of homes and will be housed in tamper-proof equipment to protect your pets and family.

The initial inspection will take no longer than an hour and a half for the average home. The length and frequency of follow-up treatments will depend on the severity of your issue and the size of your home. 30-minutes is average.

Our goal is to help you in the shortest time possible. We make every effort to be there the same or next day.

Mice and other rodents are experts when it comes to searching for and finding water, food sources and warmth – something most homes have! While many falsely believe that only “dirty” homes have mouse problems, even the cleanest homes can have issues. The problem has more to do with the exterior of your home and whether there are openings that allow mice to enter than it does the cleanliness of your home.

That’s not to say that leaving food and garbage out isn’t a contributing factor to a mouse issue though. Where the absence of food and garbage doesn’t necessarily mean mice won’t come, leaving food and garbage out will encourage them. Mice and rats can scale buildings, jump, and squeeze through openings that are much smaller than them, so it’s pretty easy for them to quickly infest a home.

A Terminix Wil-Kil pest technician will help you identify and treat the areas on the outside of your building that may be giving these pests access to your home.

The key to “getting rid” of mice is two-fold. You need to eliminate the mice that are in your home already so they don’t multiply, but you also must find out how mice entered your home in the first place and prevent it from happening again. As you could have guessed, preventing access to your home comes down to what measures you are taking on the outside of your home. Common entry points are through gaps in door or window frames, where pipes and cables enter your home, and even through vents.

A pest technician will not only help eliminate your current mouse or rodent problem, but they will also help to prevent them from coming back in the future.
