Pests We Treat Photo Album: Mouse Control, Removal, & Exclusion in Rumson, NJ
I was dispatched to a Rumson residence to resolve an ongoing mouse infestation in the home’s basement. For us at Cowleys, mice are a common rodent infestation. Because of their skeletal structure, house mice easily squeeze through the tiniest of holes and gaps. If a #2 pencil can fit through a hole or crack, so can a mouse. Since mice don’t have collarbones, their only limitation for squeezing through holes and gaps is their skull. They prefer to nest in dark secluded areas where there is little chance of disturbance, and in areas where nest bedding material like insulation is readily available.
Mouse entry point found in Rumson, New Jeresy
With mice and other nuisance wildlife infestations, it is critical to find the entry points and seal them; otherwise, the problem will never be permanently resolved. So, I turned my attention to the exterior to determine how these little rodents were gaining access to the basement. Upon a perimeter inspection, I saw that the air conditioning lines were entering the home in exactly the same area where there was heavy infestation activity indoors. I set up exterior stations to confirm rodent activity, and, sure enough, the bait from these stations were soon gone.
