Mice Control Services

Keep Your Home Mouse-Free

Mice are small rodents, but they are dreaded by homeowners across central Iowa. House mice are only about 3 or 4 inches in length, but we get countless calls every year at Paul's AAA Pest Control to get rid of them.

That's because mice are very hard to get rid of. These small brown or gray creatures only need about 1/4 inch to get inside. They commonly eat grains and seeds, and in addition to being unpleasant, they also carry diseases and allergens. Plus, because mice reproduce rapidly, your infestation can get out of control quickly.

How do you know if you have mice? You can start by checking for debris. If you notice food debris in strange places or small droppings, you may have a mouse problem. You may also see holes in your pantry food, dog food, and more.

You could also notice strange sounds. Mice are small, but they're not quiet. You may hear scratching or the distinctive pitter-patter from inside your walls or ceiling. Listen to the sounds to find out where the nest could be!

While mouse droppings are easier to identify, you could also find urine. Droppings are oblong pellets with a foul smell. You may only see urine with a black light, but the smell is quite powerful. Always clean up feces and urine first before addressing your mouse problem with a call to Paul's AAA Pest Control. We can provide you with a free quote over the phone. We'll also get started with your mouse problem by giving you a free home evaluation.

What to Expect During Mice Removal

If we confirm that you have a mouse problem, don't worry! Our mice removal process will help you be rodent-free once more. The first step is to seal your entrances and exits. With a thorough inspection, we'll identify entry and exit sites. This can include cracks around your foundation, gaps under decks, spaces in your siding, and more. Many holes can be blocked with green scrubber pads or steel wool.

Then, we'll address mice already inside the home. Traps are an effective tool to get rid of mice. Not all traps have to kill the mice. Live traps and glue traps may be a more human way to catch mice. We'll make sure the traps are placed strategically to maximize their effectiveness on your property.

Finally, we'll talk to you about other natural remedies and mice repellants. Peppermint oil can be a natural deterrent, and a few soaked cotton balls can keep mice away. Other options include kitty litter and snake feces. Mice repellents come in pill form, and there are also organic solutions.

Make sure you take children and pets into consideration with all your mice control remedies. We'll work with you to find effective solutions to keep mice at bay. You may even want to consider buying a cat if you have ongoing mice problems! Let's talk about your mice. At Paul's AAA Pest Control, we go above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction.
