Your Broken Arrow Pest Control Company are experts when it comes to dealing with mice. It’s often in cold weather that we see infestations in homes and businesses. These small rodents will find their way into our homes to escape the cold. Attic spaces with nice warm insulation are a great place for these insects and rodents to create nests and raise their young. So, in this article, let’s take a good hard look at mice, their life cycle, and what you and your Broken Arrow Pest Control Company can do to stop these pests from making their way into your home.

Rodent Entry

Mice usually find their way into your house through little openings in your garage. The cold weather will push them in to find shelter and create a place to harbor. They usually will make their way through the garage door that has gaps and openings in it. There in the garage through the walls, they’ll usually find the warmest spot in the room which is the hot water heater or hot water heater closet. Here they’ll go up the hot water heater through the chimney into the attic space and there we can find plenty of insulation suitable for making a home.

Keeping their young warm, these nests will provide all that they need with the exception of food. It’s at this point that mice will work their way down through the walls and start scratching at the walls. What they’re trying to do is break through the drywall at the bottom so they can make entry into your home. Once there, they’re going to search for food and it won’t be long before they find your kitchen and pantry areas. Keeping them out of these places is of utmost importance. So contact your Broken Arrow pest control company for help with mice.

Eliminating Mice by Broken Arrow Pest Control

Usually, when someone sees a rodent, the first thing they want to do is go get traps or bait from their local hardware store. However, this is probably the worst approach because you can’t stay ahead of their reproductive cycle. Mice reproduce very quickly. Therefore, traps are simply too slow to eliminate all the mice in the house. Over-the-counter traps are also inefficient. Additionally, there are bait formulations designed to require multiple feedings in a short period of time. This not only makes it difficult to eradicate mice but also poses a risk of secondary poisoning. Contact your Broken Arrow pest control company for help with mice.
