Mice are an invasive pest that can be hard to eliminate on your own. While many television shows and movies indicate that all you need is a simple mousetrap and some cheese, the reality is that these methods seldom work. To catch mice, you need professional help, and if you want them to be completely eradicated, then you should contact mice control services as soon as possible. Here is how they will help you get rid of these pesky vermin and what they will do to ensure they never come back.

Examine The Site

Before these pest extermination services go to work, they need to accurately figure out how many mice there are in the general area. This can be done in several ways, all of which require access to all areas of your home. From the walls to the crawl space underneath your home, mice love to get into dark areas and burrow around. Once the survey has been taken, the mice control services will know exactly how much equipment they need to deal with the issue and where to target the bulk of their energy. They will also give you a quote and advise you whether you can stay in the house or not while they exterminate the mice.

Conduct The Extermination

From fumigation to traps, there are a bunch of different methods that can be used to expel rodents from your home or kill those that try to remain. Ideally, you do not want to kill mice you cannot see, as the bodies will rot and remain, which is why these traps and methods are generally done so that you can remove the dead mice afterward. This is a very methodical process to ensure no spot is left unturned and that every area is clear, so it can take a few hours or even days if you have a larger home. 

Stopping The Return

Mice generally get into your home through small cracks or holes in your exterior, which is why it is important to locate these entrances and block them. This is an important part of mice control services as if these areas are not blocked, the mice will likely return now they know about your home. If any survivors of the extermination get out, they will be back within a few days. This gives you just enough time to seal up your home based on the advice given to you by your extermination service, which is often far more useful and long-lasting when it comes to preventing mice than just the extermination itself.
