Mice are a regular autumn and winter visitor in Wallan. They squeeze through gaps about the width of a pencil, so a house can have mice in the pantry even when it looks well sealed. Signs include small droppings in drawers and cupboards, chewed food packets, shredded paper and light scratching in the walls or ceiling after dark.
Mice breed quickly, so a couple can turn into a lot within a few weeks. The crew we book checks where they are coming in, where they are feeding and where they are nesting. They then place lockable bait stations or traps in the spots mice travel along, such as the back of cupboards, the roof space, the garage and the shed. Snap traps may suit a small problem inside the house, while bait stations tend to suit sheds, roof spaces and larger blocks. The crew will talk through which option fits your place and where they have put everything, so you can check on it afterwards.
- Pantries, kitchen cupboards and drawers checked for droppings
- Roof space looked at where the manhole gives access
- Bait stations or traps placed out of reach of kids and pets
- Gaps around pipes, vents and doors pointed out for sealing
- Tips on storing food, pet food and grain in sealed containers
On rural blocks around town, mouse numbers can jump in a good season when there is plenty of grain and seed in the paddocks. That is when a visit before winter makes sense, rather than waiting for them to move into the house. Homes that back onto open land in the new estates see the same pattern once the grass dries off.
