How can Quick Pest Control Ottawa Help you?
Our exterminators have the best procedures to remove mice or rodents from your home. We will help you to remove the mice from your home in the following ways.
Search of Mice
Firstly, we will absorb indoor and outdoor areas to search for the mice. One can identify their presence by noticeable clues. The search for mice will help us to install the traps in specific areas. Here are some indications of their presence in your property.
- Scratches on shelves, floor, or wooden accessories.
- You will notice holes (about 1.5 inches) in your clothes.
- The scattering of food also indicates the presence of mice in your home.
- Mice have unusual nests of fabrics, pet hairs, or other soft materials.
Seal all Entry Points
Any pest can not enter your home until it does not find an entry point. Secondly, we will eliminate all the entry points of mice. We will restrict their entry into your home by sealing all the access points. We locate the unnoticeable holes and close them. Only this step can prove helpful in limiting the entry of mice into your home.
Moreover, we will install door sweeps so they may not enter through the door gaps. We will also suggest that you repair the broken windows and doors.
Installation of Mice Traps
Installing mouse traps in specific areas is our next step to discard the mice from your home. Here are some entanglements that we use to capture the mice.
Snap Traps
Snap traps are the most popular and effective traps to capture mice. When the mice enter the trap, they will get stuck there. These traps provide the instant killing of mice. We prefer not to use this trap because we want to rescue the pests, especially the rodents. Moreover, the dead mice can scare the kids.
Automatic Multiple Catch Traps
Wind-up-style and low-profile traps are two types of automatic multiple-catch traps.
Wind-Up-Style Trap
Wind-up-style traps have a spring-containing platform. This trap captures the mice when they step on the platform of the entanglement. They can enter the trap but cannot exist because of the spring-containing bottom.
Electric Traps
These traps are expensive to use. This trap captures the mice and kills them with electric shocks. We do not want to try this trap as it kills the mice. We prefer to save the lives of pests, especially of the rodents.
Humane Traps
As we prefer to save the lives of rodents, we try to use humane traps to capture the mice without killing or even hurting them.
Low-Profile Traps
Low-profile traps have a door or window to capture the mice. This trap catches the mice without killing them.
Glue Traps
Glue traps contain the sticky material. This sticky material attracts the mice towards the entanglement. When the mice step into the trap, their legs get stuck. In this way, they fail to escape. Once we capture them, we send them to a safe place, away from the commercial areas.
Live traps
We prefer live bait as they catch mice without killing or hurting them. It has doors and windows. When the prey enters the trap, the door closes to trap the rats. You can remove them from here.
Use of Rodenticides
We have the best techniques for using rodenticides. Our best rodenticides will help you in removing the rats from your home. Our rodenticides are very effective in their functioning. They will affect the mice or rodents only. They will not impact humans, pets, and the environment.
Checking of Decrease in Mouse Rate
After making all these steps, we will absorb the mouse activity in the future. The above procedures will exterminate the mice from your home. Still, if you notice their further presence, contact us again. We will use our services to remove them permanently from your home.
Precautions After Extermination
Once our exterminators make your home mice-free, you should take some safety measures to restrict their re-entry. Here are some of them. You can follow these procedures to eliminate the rats from your home.
Get a Cat
Getting a cat is the best option to avoid further mice. If anyone in your family is allergic to cats, buy cat litter. It can also keep the mice away from your home.
Essential Oils
Peppermint and clove oil have a strong smell that irritates the mice. You can soak the cotton in these oils and put them on mice nesting areas. It will force them to leave your property.
Hot Pepper Solution
After the extermination of mice, you should often use a hot pepper solution. You may also use poison baits, but it can be harmful. Therefore, it is wise to use non-poisonous remedies. Prepare a hot pepper solution and spray it on those areas where the mice can nest.
Use Tape to seal Access Points.
Still, if you notice any access point for mice, you can use duct tape to block that entry point.
