How Our Home Watch Service Handles Mouse Infestations

At our home watch service, we check for signs of mouse activity and rodent infestations while you are away. Here’s how we approach detecting and managing potential mouse problems:

Key Areas We Check for Mouse Infestation:

1. Kitchen Areas: We closely examine kitchen sinks, cabinets, pantries, and other food storage or preparation areas where mice are likely to seek food.
2. Behind Major Appliances: If accessible we check behind stoves, refrigerators, and other large appliances where mice might hide or enter the home.
3. Utility Closets: We check utility closets and areas around appliances and water heaters, as these are common spots for rodent activity.
4. Bathroom Cabinets: We look inside bathroom cabinets and closets where mice can nest.
5. Basements and Sump Pumps: Our inspection includes basements and sump pump crocks, as these areas are often vulnerable to rodent invasions.
6. Attics and Crawl Spaces: If accessible, we inspect attics and crawl spaces for any signs of rodent activity.

What Happens When We Detect Mouse Infestation:

• Documentation: If we find evidence of mice or suspect an infestation, we take detailed photographs and include them in our report. We promptly notify you of our findings and can assist in locating a reputable pest control company to manage the treatment.
• Treatment Plan: Typically, addressing a mouse infestation involves a comprehensive pest control program consisting of three visits.

Pest Control Treatment Overview:

1. First Visit: The pest control technician inspects your property to identify and seal potential entry points for mice. They will also set bait and traps both inside and outside your home.
2. Second Visit: About two weeks later, the technician returns to check for ongoing rodent activity, remove any dead mice, and reset traps and bait stations.
3. Third Visit: Another two weeks after the second visit, the technician performs a similar check to ensure the infestation is under control.

Post-Treatment Recommendations:
After the third visit, the technician will advise on whether additional visits are necessary or if the program can be considered complete. A reputable pest control company should also offer a warranty, typically lasting 30 days, to ensure ongoing protection.
