Although they are often regarded as cute, and less monstrous as rats, mice can be the most stubborn and difficult critters to deal with when they infect your home. If they stay there long enough, mice can cause hundreds of dollars’ worth of damages to your home.

Once mice have made themselves at home in your home, it is difficult to get them out. They quickly become aware of their surroundings, so DIY trapping will often result in failure, as mice will avoid any new elements in their surroundings, like traps. It is important to remember that any untrained persons should never handle mice on their own, as it could result in the spread of disease. Instead, consult your local Critter Control® to help assist you in removing the rodents.
