Pests We Treat Photo Album: Different Ways the Mice Are Entering the Crawl Space in Holmdel, NJ
These are the ways the mice are entering the crawl space.
Crawl Space Vents Wide Open
The mice were squeezing through this crawl space vent that was completely exposed.
Not a Good Idea
This piece of wood was covering the access door to the crawl space. This isn't a good idea...
Left Open
...because it doesn't completely close off the crawl space access point and is left vulnerable for mice and other pest to infest the area.
Setting Up the Bait Stations
We installed several rodent bait stations near the access points, in several locations around the exterior of the building, and throughout the crawl space.
Coming Back
After that, we scheduled a number of return visits to monitor the activity and replenish the bait stations as needed. The owner mentioned that he will contact our Crawl Space division to properly seal off the vents and install a new, sturdy crawl space door.
