Infestations make us feel helpless and disgusted. Professional pest control helps, but pests return after professional visits. It takes several treatments to cut infestations down to almost nothing. What can we do for mice control in Ankeny, IA, between professional visits?
Mouseology
First, we need to understand the psychology of a mouse. Everything, literally, is bigger than they are. That makes them supper for somebody. Understandably, mice will get into a building of some type and stay there for sheer protection. There, they’ll breed and live a comfy life.
Signs You Have Mice
Mice deposit their droppings everywhere. Mice stay beside walls for safety instead of crossing a room in the open, so you’ll also notice oily stains on walls or baseboards.
How To Eliminate Mice Between Professional Treatments
The first step in mice control in Ankeny, IA, is keeping the kitchen and bathrooms exquisitely clean. Put a lid on trash. Put lids on food, and put food in the fridge. Keep tightly lidded any boxed or plastic-packaged foods in cabinets like pasta, rice, cookies, and such in glass or ceramic canisters. Mice can’t chew through those.
Glue traps work. Some are scented like peanut butter so mice will try to eat it. These are no danger to children or pets. Poison bait works, but are a danger to children and pets.
