You see a mouse – quick! Where’s the mousetrap? Unfortunately one mouse and one mousetrap are generally far from what is needed to eradicate a rodent problem in your home. Des Moines’s mice control is best handled by the professionals at Pro-Staff. Read below to learn why.
It’s more than one
If you see one rodent, chances are that was the unluckiest mouse. The others are much more stealthy and have probably been living in your home longer than you imagine. And the idea that you can set a trap and catch a mouse is also idealistic.
Most mice can leap over a single trap without difficulty. A more effective method is to set traps back to back with the bait facing outward so a mouse is unable to leap the doubled distance, but that is still only enough to catch 2 mice. Unless you have plenty of time and can inspect and empty traps regularly, calling a professional pest control service will be your best option.
Mice have practice
Mice like to live with people. No wonder. We offer food, water, climate control, and shelter. Mice navigate by smell and easily locate the cereal your child dropped, cookie crumbs that fell, and neglected bits of food you tossed down to the dog. When you bait a trap, though, they might not respond because they are skillful enough to recognize the bait as bait.
Being reactive
Most homeowners tackle the problem head-on when they notice the presence of rodents. However, being proactive is much easier than reactively attempting to remove rodents already happily ensconced in a home. That’s where Pro-Staff comes to the rescue. One call and our staff can inspect and treat your home inside and out to make your home inhospitable to rodents. Pro-Staff also offers a yearly treatment to keep rodents and other pests from calling your home their home.
Mice are more than just pests. They carry diseases and contaminate the foods they sample. Keep all rodents from entering your home by thinking proactively and calling the Des Moines mice control team, Pro-Staff, at 515-279-7378 or contact us online for a yearly rodent inspection and treatment to guarantee no that unwanted rodents will enter your home.
