Mouse pest control services tends to be based on a minimum two or three visit mouse pest control program. All pest control companies will start with at least two visits, and many work with a three visit program to begin with.
Visit one of a mouse pest control service, will involve an pest control technician visiting your property and carrying out a full survey. To carry out effective pest control they need to know the extent of the mouse infestation, how the mice are getting into your house, where they are nesting, which areas or rooms are affected and the ‘rodent pathways’ being used. Rodent pathways are essentially the routes the mice are taking to navigate around your property.
Once your pest controller has established the level of the infestation, they are able to start a mouse pest control program for you, in line with their findings. This means that mouse bait, or rodenticide, is placed in the most effective areas, where the mice are most likely to eat it. The result is a pest control program that is as quick as possible. If you have concerns about where the bait is placed, then always discuss this with your technician.
If you have children or pets, or have concerns about wildlife and the use of rodenticides, again, discuss this with your technician when they are there. All professional pest control companies have to have staff trained in safe use of rodenticides. Pest control is a regulated and managed industry, due to the use of rodent bait and insecticides.
Once a mouse pest control program and extermination has been started, it is best left to do it’s job. It takes a few days for the mice to start eating the bait. The second follow up visit is usually 7 days after the first, and during this visit your pest control technician will establish whether there are still signs of live mice, or whether the mouse infestation has finished. If the mouse infestation appears to be finished, then it will be signed off and you will receive completion paperwork.
Sometimes additional visits are needed, especially if the mouse infestation is particularly serious. In this case your pest control company may book in on a per visit basis from here, and as mentioned, many pest control companies book in three visits as standard. There is no right or wrong with the number of initial visits, provided a minimum of two visits are completed. Two visits initially tends to be a better option for your budget, as three visit programs tend to be more expensive due to the extra call out.
