The problem
Mouse & Rat Control, done right
When the weather turns cold in Maine, mice come inside. A mouse can squeeze through a gap the size of a dime, and a home with a few of them in the fall can have a lot more by January.
Traps on their own don't fix it, because more will just keep coming in. We trap out what's inside and seal the gaps along the foundation, sill, utility lines and garage door that let them in.
Signs to look for
How to tell it’s mice & rats
- Droppings in drawers, cabinets, the pantry or along walls
- Scratching in walls or ceilings at night
- Chewed food packaging, wiring or insulation
- Nests of shredded paper or fabric in storage areas
- Rub marks or burrows along the foundation (rats)
How we handle it
Out first. Then keep them out.
Inspect
We find where they're getting in, usually at the sill, around pipes and wires, and around garage doors.
Trap out
We set and service traps to clear the rodents already inside.
Seal
We close every entry point with materials rodents can't chew through, like steel wool, mesh, metal flashing and sealant.
Follow up
We check back to confirm activity has stopped.
This covers
- House mice
- Deer mice
- Norway rats
Questions
What people ask us
Something else on your mind? Call and talk to a real person.
(207) 531-5524Do you use poison?
We avoid poison inside homes. Poisoned mice often die in the walls and cause a smell, and poison is a risk to pets and other wildlife. Trapping plus sealing works better.
Do you work on apartment buildings?
Yes. In multi-unit buildings we treat and seal the whole building, since rodents move between units through shared walls.
When is the worst time for mice?
Fall, as nights get cold. The best time to seal up is late summer, before they start moving in.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the animal, how much of the house is affected and how hard the entry points are to reach. We inspect first and give you a straight written quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Will it come back?
Not if the entry points are sealed. Removal alone is a band-aid: another animal finds the same gap. We close the gaps with heavy-gauge materials so the problem is actually fixed.
Which areas do you cover?
Cumberland, York and Androscoggin counties in southern Maine, including Portland, South Portland, Scarborough, Biddeford, Saco, Brunswick, Lewiston and Auburn. Not sure if you’re in range? Call and ask.
