Step 1 — What to look for
Signs you may have rodents / mice
- Droppings in cabinets, drawers, basements, or along walls
- Gnaw marks on wood, drywall, food packaging, or wiring
- Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls, ceilings, or the attic — especially at night
- Nests made of shredded paper, insulation, or fabric in hidden spots
- Grease rub marks along baseboards and well-traveled routes
Step 2 — How A&J treats it
Our treatment, start to finish
- 1Full home inspection to find entry points, nesting areas, and how far the problem has spread
- 2Sealing and exclusion — we close up the gaps, cracks, and utility openings so they can't come back
- 3Trapping and monitoring with pet-safe, tamper-resistant placement throughout the home
- 4Follow-up checks to confirm activity has stopped and adjust the plan if needed
Step 3 — Keeping a safe, healthy home
How to keep them from coming back
- Store food — including pet food — in sealed, hard containers
- Keep counters, floors, and under-appliance areas free of crumbs and spills
- Reduce clutter in basements, garages, and attics where rodents like to nest
- Trim shrubs and tree branches back from the house, and keep firewood stored away from the foundation
- Fix leaks and moisture issues — rodents need water as much as food
Frequently asked
Do you use poison?+
Only when appropriate and always in tamper-resistant stations far from kids and pets. We prefer exclusion and trapping.
How do mice get into my house?+
A mouse can squeeze through a gap the size of a dime. Common entry points are foundation cracks, gaps around utility lines, garage doors, and worn door sweeps — which is why sealing is the heart of our service.
How long does it take to get rid of them?+
Most homes see activity stop within one to two weeks once entry points are sealed and traps are working. Follow-up visits make sure it stays that way.
