Pest Service Plans Photo Album: Home Protection Plan finds rodent evidence - Rodent & Pest Control in Perth Amboy
Low Profile rodent bait box installed in Perth Amboy.
These bait boxes were set up on a previous service call to control mice in the past. I thoroughly inspected other parts of the home and could find no evidence of other rodent activity. Fortunately, the rodent activity was limited to the basement area only. All the RTUs were then inspected and re-baited where needed. While there, I thoroughly inspected the exterior perimeter of the home to determine potential access points into the basement.

Any access points were sealed. Finally, I set up a larger Low Profile (LP) rodent bait box (see picture) on the exterior by the garage to attract mice before they attempted to enter the home. Based on similar jobs, I'm confident that this outdoor bait box will successfully capture all or most of the mice before they try to find their way back into the basement.
RTU with mouse droppings in Perth Amboy.
Upon inspection of the basement area, there were mouse droppings found next to a rodent bait box (RTU). Based on the color and texture of the droppings, they were recently deposited). Mouse infestations are not just a nuisance. They pose a serious health risk. Their droppings contain bacteria, parasites, and other pathogens, and when the pellets dry, harmful airborne microscopic spores are released, causing serious respiratory diseases if inhaled. Also, mice can transport disease-infected ticks into your home. While mice may be hiding out in basements and crawl spaces, they can travel virtually anywhere in the home through the inside wall voids. They almost always find their way to the kitchen while foraging for food where they can contaminate food, countertop surfaces, silverware, plates, and appliances.
