Mice Exterminators and Control Experts
Controlling house mice requires an intimate understanding of their unique behaviors and habits. Unlike larger rodents, mice are incredibly cautious explorers that rarely venture more than 30 feet from their nests. Our certified technicians study mouse social structures, feeding patterns, and nesting preferences to develop targeted control strategies that work with their natural behaviors rather than against them. This specialized knowledge allows us to achieve faster results while preventing the scattered infestations that often occur with improper treatment methods.
Why Mice Are a Serious Problem
EcoGuard Pest Management is a leader in mice control methodology & service.
Mouse infestations demand immediate attention due to the severe risks they pose to your health and property:

- Critical Health Hazards: Mice transmit over 25 diseases to humans including hantavirus pulmonary syndrome through their droppings, Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) through direct contact, and salmonellosis through food contamination.
- Destructive Property Damage: Mice cause extensive structural damage by gnawing through electrical wires (creating fire hazards), plumbing lines (leading to water damage), and building materials like wood and drywall.
- Unsanitary Conditions: A single mouse can deposit 50-75 droppings per day while leaving a constant trail of urine that contaminates food preparation surfaces, stored products, and living spaces with dangerous pathogens. Their fur, feet, and droppings spread bacteria and disease organisms throughout your property.
- Exponential Growth: Mouse populations explode rapidly with females producing 5-10 pups per litter and can birth a new litter every 20 days, with juveniles becoming reproductive at just 6 weeks old. A single pair can produce up to 60 offspring in one year, quickly overwhelming your property.
EcoGuard Mice Treatment Options
We take a systematic approach to mouse control, combining multiple techniques based on the specific patterns of your infestation:
- Micro Exclusion: Specialized techniques to seal entry points as small as a pencil's diameter, focusing on pipe penetrations, foundation gaps, and utility entrances
- Pheromone Control: Breaking down house mouse pheromone trails that guide others to food sources and nesting sites which helps to disrupt their social networks
- Multi Point Trapping: Strategic placement of multiple types of traps including snap traps and glue traps that take advantage of mice's tendency to explore edges and corners while following established pathways
- Strategic Baiting: Strategically placed, tamper resistant mouse bait stations containing professional grade rodenticides target active mouse populations while keeping children and pets safe.
- Nest Identification: Locating and removing mice and their nesting materials that could attract new mice through residual pheromones
- Smart Monitoring: Monitoring systems that track rodent activity patterns, allowing us to adjust control strategies instantly
What Causes Mice Problems?
Understanding what attracts mice into your property helps prevent future infestations:
- Accessible Food: Even tiny food particles attract mice, especially grains, cereals, and pet food left in unsealed containers. Their keen sense of smell leads them to crumbs in toasters, under appliances, and inside cabinets.
- Available Water: While mice get most moisture from food, leaking pipes, condensation under sinks, and pet water bowls provide additional water sources that make your property more appealing.
- Entry Points: Mice squeeze through holes as small as a dime and exploit gaps around pipes, utility lines, vents, and foundation cracks. Poor exterior maintenance creates multiple access points for these agile climbers.
- Cluttered Spaces: Cardboard boxes, paper products, and stored fabrics provide perfect nesting materials. Cluttered garages, attics, and storage areas offer mice protected spaces to build nests close to food sources.
Signs of a Mice Infestation
Learn to identify these common indicators of mouse activity:
- Mouse droppings resemble dark rice grains, particularly along walls, in drawers, and under sinks
- Gnaw marks on food packages, wooden structures, and plastic containers, often accompanied by scattered food debris
- Grease marks along baseboards and walls where mice repeatedly travel caused by their oily fur
- Strange pet behavior, such as dogs or cats pawing at walls or staring intently at unusual space as their senses are heightened and can pick up on mice activity
- Unusual sounds like scratching, squeaking, or scurrying in walls or ceilings, especially at night
- Nesting evidence including shredded paper, fabric, or insulation in enclosed spaces
DIY vs Professional Mice Treatment
While retail stores offer various mouse control products, attempting to handle a mouse infestation yourself often leads to frustration and ongoing rodent problems. Over the counter traps and baits might catch a few mice, but these temporary solutions fail to address the root causes of the infestation. DIY attempts risk making the problem worse by teaching mice to avoid traps and baits, while dead mice in inaccessible areas create unpleasant odors and attract secondary pests. Professional mouse control provides crucial advantages through comprehensive inspections, commercial grade control devices, proper exclusion methods, and prevention strategies tailored to your property's specific risk factors to deliver lasting results that DIY methods rarely achieve.

Pest Control Process
Initial Site Analysis: Our process begins with a meticulous property inspection to understand your specific mouse challenge. We examine common entry points and travel paths, identify current and potential nesting sites, evaluate food and water sources, and document all structural vulnerabilities.
Custom Treatment Strategy: Using the inspection findings, we develop a targeted control plan tailored to your property's unique challenges. This strategy integrates monitoring stations, appropriate control devices, entry point sealing, and specific recommendations for reducing conditions that attract mice.
Effective Exclusion: Our technicians execute a comprehensive exclusion strategy targeting the unique entry points mice exploit. We begin by sealing holes as small as a quarter inch using durable materials like copper mesh, metal sheeting, and specialized sealants that resist gnawing.

Ongoing Assessment: Regular assessment maintains the effectiveness of your mouse control program. We conduct thorough inspections of all control devices, document activity levels, and adjust methods based on changing conditions. Our team provides detailed reports of findings and recommendations, keeping you informed about your property's mouse control status.
Seasonal Plan for Mice Control
Spring: As temperatures warm and breeding activity increases, we concentrate on identifying and removing overwintering mouse colonies from attics, wall voids, and crawl spaces. This season requires intensive inspection of previously inactive areas where mice may have nested.
Summer: Our focus shifts to exterior prevention, identifying and sealing potential entry points before fall migrations begin. We pay special attention to foundation gaps, utility penetrations, and maintaining a mouse free perimeter.
Fall: Mouse activity surges as populations seek indoor shelter from dropping temperatures. We strengthen exclusion barriers, increase monitoring of entry points, and adjust bait station placements to intercept and get rid of mice before they establish indoor nesting sites.

Winter: Indoor control becomes critical as mice remain active in heated spaces. We concentrate on monitoring kitchen areas, utility rooms, and storage spaces where mice establish winter nests.
Mice Control FAQs
What signs indicate a mouse infestation requiring professional help?
Finding droppings, discovering gnawed materials, or hearing scratching in walls are clear signs of mouse activity requiring professional intervention. Small, dark droppings along baseboards, in drawers, or under sinks particularly indicate an active infestation needing immediate attention.
How extensive can a mouse infestation become if left untreated?
Without professional intervention, a mouse infestation can grow exponentially within months. Since female mice can produce a new litter every 21-24 days, a single pair can grow to dozens of mice within a season, leading to extensive property damage and health risks.
What health risks do mice pose to families and pets?
Mice carry numerous diseases transmissible to humans and pets, including hantavirus, salmonella, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). They also trigger asthma attacks and allergic reactions through their dander, urine, and droppings.
How quickly do mice reproduce in residential settings?
Female mice reach reproductive maturity at 6 weeks of age and can produce 5-10 pups per litter with a new litter every 3-4 weeks under ideal conditions. This rapid reproduction rate means infestations can grow from a single pair to dozens of mice within months.
Why do mice infest homes during different seasons?
Mice enter homes primarily seeking warmth and food, with increased activity during fall and winter as outdoor temperatures drop. However, they remain active year round, requiring consistent monitoring and control measures regardless of season.
What's included in a professional mouse control program?
Professional programs include thorough inspection, customized treatment and control plans, installation of control devices, entry point sealing, regular monitoring, and ongoing prevention strategies. Each program is tailored to your specific infestation level and property characteristics.
How long does professional mouse elimination typically take?
Initial control typically shows results within 1-2 weeks, but complete elimination may take 30-60 days depending on infestation severity and property conditions. Ongoing monitoring ensures lasting control.
Are professional mouse treatments safe for children and pets?
Professional treatments use tamper resistant bait stations and carefully placed traps that protect children and pets. All products are EPA registered and applied according to strict safety protocols by licensed technicians.
What makes professional mouse control more effective than DIY methods?
Professional control combines expert knowledge of mouse behavior, access to commercial grade products, comprehensive inspection techniques, and proven prevention strategies. This systematic approach addresses both current infestations and future prevention.
How do mice travel through building structures?
Mice use wall voids, utility lines, and structural gaps to move throughout buildings, typically staying within 10-30 feet of their nests. They create regular pathways between food sources and nesting sites, often along baseboards and walls.
What ongoing maintenance is needed after initial mouse control?
Regular monitoring and maintenance visits are essential to prevent reinfestation. This includes quarterly inspections of bait stations, checking exclusion repairs, and evaluating potential new entry points as building conditions change with seasons and wear.
What documentation is provided for commercial mouse control services?
Commercial clients receive detailed service reports documenting mouse activity levels, control measures implemented, bait station locations, and treatment recommendations. We maintain digital records of all services, findings, and compliance documentation required for health inspections.
How do professionals monitor mouse activity levels?
We use multiple monitoring methods including tracking powder, bait station activity records, and regular inspections of known travel paths. These techniques help us measure population changes and adjust control strategies accordingly.
What guarantees come with professional mouse control?
Our service guarantee includes return visits at no additional cost if mouse activity continues during your service period. We maintain our control measures until your mouse problem is resolved and provide ongoing protection through regular maintenance visits.
How do property changes affect mouse behavior and control methods?
Construction, landscaping changes, or neighboring property modifications can disrupt mouse colonies and drive them to seek new shelter. We adjust our control strategies to address these changing patterns and protect your property from displaced mice.
What factors determine the cost of professional mouse control?
Treatment costs vary based on infestation severity, property size, necessary exclusion work, and required ongoing maintenance. We provide detailed cost breakdowns after completing our initial inspection.
How do professionals assess the extent of a mouse infestation?
We conduct thorough inspections looking for droppings, grease marks, nesting sites, and entry points. The number and location of these signs, combined with client observations, help determine infestation severity and necessary control measures.
What unique challenges do mice present in commercial settings?
Commercial facilities face strict regulatory requirements, constant food availability, and complex building layouts that can harbor mouse populations. These settings require specialized control strategies that maintain both effectiveness and compliance.
How do seasonal changes affect mouse control strategies?
Mouse behavior changes significantly with seasons, requiring adjustments to control methods. We modify trap placements, bait selections, and exclusion efforts to match seasonal activity patterns and prevention needs.
What makes mice so adaptable to indoor environments?
Mice thrive indoors due to their small size, excellent climbing ability, and capacity to survive on minimal food and water. They quickly learn to avoid dangers while exploiting new food sources, making professional control methods essential for elimination.
