Mice are smaller than rats, but they can cause just as much bother. They chew into food packets, leave tiny droppings in drawers and cupboards, and nest in wall cavities, under stoves and behind fridges. Mouse removal is one of the services we book for homes in Caloundra, from beachside units to acreage houses in the hinterland.
Mice can squeeze through a gap about the width of a pencil, so the crew we book spends time finding the small entry points that let them in. They check under the kitchen sink, behind the dishwasher and fridge, inside pantry corners, around hot water systems and along the bottom edge of garage doors. They also look for nests made from shredded paper, fabric or insulation.
- An inspection of the kitchen, pantry, laundry and garage
- Traps set along the runways mice use at night
- Bait stations placed where they suit the household
- A list of small gaps and entry points to seal
- A later visit to check traps and remove any catch
In rural areas around the hinterland, mice often move indoors in autumn, when paddocks dry out and the nights cool down. In the newer estates, they can arrive from nearby building sites and cleared land. Either way, the plan is the same: remove the mice that are inside, then close the gaps they used. The crew will list each gap and explain how it can be sealed.
Before the visit, clear the pantry floor and the cupboard under the sink if you can, so the crew can see into the corners. Store dry food in sealed tubs. We take bookings across Caloundra and nearby suburbs. Call 07 3543 7766 for upfront pricing and a time that suits you.
