Our Mice & Rat Method
We will start our visit like all visits:
- Identify the location of the rodents
- Seal obvious entry points
- Begin treatment
The initial treatment consists of setting up snap traps to kill the mice and rats inside the home. We will use bait boxes outside the home to eradicate other mice and rats. Depending on how much bait is used, we will return at 30 or 60 day intervals. Keeping fresh bait is important to break their life cycle. Call us at (314) 236-7378 today.
