Rodents & Small Mammals questions from Strafford County residents
Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as 1/4 inch. Common entry points include foundation cracks, gaps around pipes and wires, damaged door sweeps, and openings where utilities enter. The university area housing common in Strafford County often have vulnerable points. Our inspection identifies every entry point.
We minimize rodenticide use, focusing instead on exclusion and trapping. When rodenticides are necessary, we use tamper-resistant bait stations placed safely away from children and pets. Our approach prevents secondary poisoning risks.
Most rodent problems can be resolved within 2-4 weeks with proper trapping and exclusion. We monitor activity, adjust our approach as needed, and don't consider the job done until we confirm elimination and seal all entry points for Strafford County homes.
Not if we complete proper exclusion work. Trapping alone is temporary—mice will return unless entry points are sealed. Our service includes exclusion recommendations and can include sealing work to provide lasting protection.
