Mice are a problem you and your Tulsa exterminator can deal with together. These rodents can get into your house and attempt to protect themselves from the cold. Once they’re inside, they’ll find that it’s a nice place to stay, eat, drink, and raise their young. So, keeping them out should be priority number one. This article takes a hard look at mice, their life cycle, and what you and your Tulsa exterminator can do to stop these rodents from getting into your home.
Mice Entry Points
Mice can find a way in when they really want to. These small rodents have very flexible bone structures, which means they can manipulate their bodies to get through small holes and cracks. If they can get their head through a hole or crack, they can get their entire body through. A hole the size of a dime is big enough for them to squeeze through. In many cases, they find their way in through the garage. The garage is a common entry point because the large door is almost impossible to completely seal off. They’ll find a way underneath the seal. Once they’re inside, they usually search for the warmest places and hide amongst the clutter in most people’s garages. Warm places often include hot water heaters. They’ll make their way up the hot water heater and the chimney into the attic space, where they’ll find plenty of insulation, which is great for making nests. Once they’ve established their family, they may come down the walls and start scratching at the bottom of them, trying to get through the drywall to find food in your house. Contact your Tulsa exterminator if you’re having problems with mice.
Eliminating Mice with a Tulsa Exterminator
To get rid of mice, most people will go straight to their local hardware store and get some traps or rodenticides. This is probably the worst way to handle it. Mice are very good at reproducing and they do so extremely fast. Because of this, a trap simply can’t get ahead of them. You kill them one at a time, and it’s very messy. There are over-the-counter rodenticides, such as anticoagulants, but these require multiple feedings before they wipe out a mouse population. Because of this, it could take a long time to get ahead of these mice, and in most cases, you never do. Contact your Tulsa exterminator for help with mice. Check out our reviews!
