One of the best methods to keep mice away this Thanksgiving is prevention – here are a few tips to follow, both inside and oustide of your home to ensure your family are the only guests invited to eat this Holiday Season!
Outside your home - walk around the outside of your home and conduct a quick visual inspection. Check for holes and cracks in your foundation and take note of those locations. Smaller holes may be sealed with caulking or expanding foam – Cracks in the foundation might need to be repaired with concrete. Steel mesh should be used instead of plastic around large openings since a mouse’s strong teeth can actually chew through plastic over time.
Inside your home, after the big meal - be sure to put away food and clean off dirty dishes as soon as possible. Carefully wrap up your holiday leftovers before placing them in the trash so mice and other pests are not tempted to search and find the food source (in your garage or kitchen).

Our three-part plan is the starting point for our guaranteed rodent elimination program. The rodent specialists who come to your home or office are trained to identify several key elements.
INSPECT - During our initial inspection, our Pest Management Professionals are inspecting for evidence of rodent activity, harborage areas, and structural deficiencies that may be allowing mice to gain entry.
DETECT - Once we find the evidence we need, you're one step closer to a solution. Each rodent elimination plan is customized, based on the circumstances, to guarantee elimination.
CORRECT - Here is where we roll up our sleeves. Although we may not achieve 100% elimination overnight, we move swiftly to address all the deficiencies we detected during our inspection. We want a long-term solution rather than a quick fix. That's why we install exclusionary devices, in addition to using highly effective baiting products and mechanical devices.
