2 Visit Mice Treatment

Service Description

An initial survey and placement of professional-grade rodenticides or traps, followed by a follow-up visit to review activity, replenish or remove bait, and assess eradication Visit 1 (Survey & Setup): The technician inspects your property to locate nests, activity zones, and entry points, then places tamper-resistant bait stations or traps in secure areas away from children and pets Visit 2 (Review & Removal): Conducted usually a week or more later to check consumption, remove remaining or uneaten rodenticide, and evaluate if further steps are needed. (Note: severe infestations often require more visits). Mice are prolific breeders. They breed year-round and are able to reproduce at just 10-weeks old. In a single year, a female may have 5 to 10-litters of 5 or 6-young. Because of this it’s important to achieve a complete kill of all the mice in a colony. Mice are fussy feeders, they don’t eat much food and they’re more resistant to poisons than rats and other rodents. Our professional pest control technicians understand their behaviour and know which is the most effective bait and where to place it throughout the site to achieve a complete kill. Mice carry many severe, sometimes fatal diseases including hantavirus, Weil’s disease, listeria, toxoplasma gondi and salmonella. They spread disease to humans through their urine and droppings. Because of this they need to be handled carefully and disposed of safely. Mice also can cause serious structural damage to properties by chewing through electrical cables, water and gas pipes etc. Preparation you must undertake prior to treatment Leave any droppings or damage for the technician to look at. Keep a record of where you see mice. Check if your neighbours have seen mice. Don’t feed wild birds. Don’t put food on your compost heap. Clean crumbs from under the cooker and kitchen cabinets. Remove any food that is left out including pet food. Aftercare To prevent future mouse infestations, you must identify and deal with the reasons you had an infestation in the first place. The following measures should be implemented. Don’t feed wild birds. Always dispose of any spilled or leftover pet food. Always dispose of any animal droppings; don’t put them on your compost heap. Mouse proof animal hutches and runs. Store animal food in mouse proof containers. Keep rubbish bins securely closed. Don’t put food on your compost heap.
