Common questions
What homeowners ask before they call.
I hear scratching inside a wall at night. Could that be mice?
Scratching low in a wall or behind a kitchen cabinet after dark is a common sign of mice or rats indoors, and droppings behind the stove or under the sink usually confirm it. A pro looks for where they are getting in and closes that off, not just where they are feeding.
Is it mice or rats?
The droppings are the quickest tell: mouse droppings are about the size of a grain of rice, rat droppings closer to a raisin. Rats also leave greasy rub marks along the walls they run and chew larger, rougher openings. It is worth identifying before anything is set, because the two are baited and trapped differently.
Why do they come back after I trap them?
Traps take out the ones already inside. They do not close the gap the rodents are using, and a mouse can pass through an opening about the width of a pencil. Until the entry points are found and sealed, the next ones follow the same route in.
Is treatment safe with kids and pets?
Ask the pro before any work starts. Approaches vary — tamper-resistant stations, trapping and sealing work are all common in homes with children or animals. The pro sets their own methods and can walk you through what they would use and whether you need to stay out of a room.
What does it cost?
The call is free. The pro sets their own price based on what you have and how far it has spread. Ask for a quote on the call, before you agree to anything.
Do I need to leave the house while it is treated?
Often not, but it depends on what is being used and where. The pro will tell you up front if any room needs to be empty for a while, and for how long.
