Why Do I Have Mice?

Mice infestations are common throughout Southern California due to the climate and urban sprawl. When extreme weather patterns or cold temperatures set it, mice will come indoors seeking shelter and food. Mice infestations are also more likely to happen in new neighborhoods where houses have been built in formerly open spaces, or if there are open spaces near housing units.

Mouse Extermination

It is important to treat mice as soon as you notice the first signs of an infestation because mice can bring other unwanted pests like mites, fleas and bed bugs. In some cases, mice can spread disease with their urine and droppings. They can also damage insulation, wiring and other household items while building nests. Due to the smaller size of mice, they are also known to leave grease stains in places they infest because their bodies drag along the ground.

Griffin Pest Management specializes in mice control and uses a baiting, trapping and retrieval program to eliminate mice from your dwelling. Griffin also offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee for all of our customers, and we stand by our promise to eradicate your mice problem.

Mice Treatment Options

Inspection

Your mouse control service will begin with a licensed technician providing a full inspection of your residence and property to identify the infestation. During the inspection, your pest control technician will identify potential problem areas around your home or office. After the source of your problem areas have been identified, your technician will point out other potential areas mice may nest and will show you the steps you can take to reduce future infestations. Your technician will create a customized mice treatment plan for year-round protection, using the most effective and environmentally conscious mouse control solutions.

Mice Baits

Chemical poisons are strategically placed where mice are likely to be exposed to them in hopes that they consume the bait. While these methods are effective, it is best to have a Griffin technician help with placement of these poison baits to minimize the possibility of a non-target animal consuming the poison or a mice consuming the poison then falling ill and dying within the walls of a home.

Mice Traps

Sticky traps and snap traps are both designed to catch mice in areas where they are likely to feed or along their usual paths. These traps are extremely effective when used with the right baits and are designed for easy cleanup and disposal.

Mice Sanitation

There is a distinct smell that comes from mice urine and waste that is unpleasant and attracts other rats. Griffin cleans and disinfects any areas that the mice inhabited to prevent further mice intrusion. We utilize a hospital grade disinfectant that will sanitize and remove any odors that the mice may have left behind.

Mice Exclusion

We not only kill and control your current mice, we also help prevent any future mice outbreaks. Mice infestations typically originate outside, and your technician will focus on the perimeter of the home and outlying areas of the yard. In addition to exterior treatments, a Griffin pest technician will identify and seal all potential entry points into your home to prevent mice from finding access to areas like wall cavities and crawl spaces. Unprotected access points provide mice with the easy access they need to find ways to sources of food within your home or business. We can also treat the interior of your home to stop mice from entering. Future service treatments will be exterior only, without requiring you to be home or having to worry about scheduling conflicts. Griffin Pest Management offers Monthly, Bi-Monthly and one-time mice services with no contract required.

Signs of Mice

Mice Droppings – Mice droppings will accumulate along well traveled paths. This causes an unpleasant odor over time.

Scratching Sounds – Scratching from in the walls is a common indicator that mice are traversing the internal structures within walls.

Grease Streaks on Baseboards – Mice tend to follow baseboards to stay against walls while traveling. This keeps them from becoming exposed but also leads to greasy looking stains along the base boards.

Mice Nests – Nests are found in areas that are undisturbed. Mice will shred soft materials and use the material to create a nest in wall cavities, attics, cupboards, crawl spaces, etc.

Quick Facts About Mice

Habits

Mice are prolific breeders and can have many litters throughout the year. They often invade homes in search of safe places to breed with nearby sources of food and water. They often infest attics, garages, sheds, dryer vents, cabinets and pantries. They use insulation, wiring, lint, newspapers and garbage to build their nests.

Habitat

Mice typically live outdoors, but when the weather gets extreme or they need a safe place to breed, they will come inside. Mice build their nests from shredded fibers. In homes, they typically use wiring, insulation, lint and newspapers.

Threats

Micro droplets of mouse urine can cause allergies in children. Mice can also bring fleas, mites, ticks and lice into your home. Mice droppings can also spread Hantavirus and other diseases if left untreated.

Prevention

To keep mice and other rodents out, make sure all holes of larger diameter than a pencil are sealed. Mice can squeeze through spaces as small as a nickel. Seal any cracks and voids. Don't overlook proper drainage at the foundation and always install gutters or diverts which will channel water away from the building. Griffin Pest Management offers exclusion service for rodent infestations to keep rodents from returning.
