When you hire a pest control company to rid your home of your mice problems, you have a valid expectation that the mice will be removed and never come back again but that wasn’t the case for this Ontario home. As we’ve found and noted hundreds of times in the past regarding this business, home owners who themselves aren’t aware of the need for pest removal and full re-entry prevention end up finding themselves paying for the same job over and over again without getting the results they would expect from a professional removal company.
So again we were called out to a London home for mice removal where we were the second pest control company the home owner called. We weren’t called to see if we can give the home owner a better quote. We were called out because the home owner was experiencing a recurrence of a mice infestation and because of this recurrence, she didn’t trust the first company she called – understandably so.
With over a decade of experience in this business and a very high success rate at keeping mice, bats and raccoons and bay, we’re able to tell almost immediately where the main entry points to a home by wildlife are but that’s not where our expertise ends. The thing that makes us such a success at keeping out mice is that we seek, find, and eliminate all potential and existing entry points.
We get on our hands and knees and look for entry points that the average person wouldn’t. Do you blame us? Mice are small creatures but very smart, and they’ll make every effort at gaining entry to a home without being noticed, and stay there for as long as they can. We’ve asked ourselves “how can we offer mice control services but not actually control a mice problem?”
If you watch the video below of the inspection we did in London, you’ll see a perfect example of what the average pest control company will do to secure a home and then you’ll see how we go the extra mile.
But, these are not the only areas we check. As I said before, we do get down on our hands and knees, and high up on ladders and make sure all areas on our checklist have been marked off.
This way, even when all potential entry points aren’t closed off (because a home owner may not opt in for full prevention), in the future, if mice do get in through those areas, we’ll have an accurate reference point to go back to that will help us quickly identify the previously found susceptible areas.
In all honestly, as can be seen by the image above, it’s hard to understand how a company can provide pest control and still overlook very obvious entry points. Even if there aren’t any actual signs of a mice entry, it’s quite clear that if other entry areas are closed off permanently, this is one area where they’ll quite easily be able to use to get back in.
The image that you see above was taken during a Burlington inspection but the point of the matter is that entries of this nature can happen to any home, anywhere and the only way to be sure you’re getting what you pay for is by doing your research, and contacting an accredited wildlife removal company.
As I mentioned, “it’s the fine-points of wildlife proofing that make the job a success” so if you believe you may have a mice or rat issue in your home or you’ve definitely seen signs of them, we advise that you give the experts a call. As we always do we’ll ensure the job is done right the first time and guarantee the work we provide you.
