Mouse Control In The House - Hollywood, FL

how to trap rats & mice

The House Mouse   is common rodent pest throughout South Florida.  In Hollywood, Florida, most mouse calls our Hollywood animal control company takes actually turn out to be rat problems caused by roof rats.   Young rats and adult mice look similar in appearance especially as if you only see them dart underneath the stove.
Mouse Control - solving the mice problem
Mice in the house in Hollywood, FL often starts in the garage and then spreads into the home proper.
 
  • 1). Identify the entry points  Examine the eave of the home, particularly the vents on its underside and where the eave makes corners with the rooftop. Rats and mice get into the attic most commonly around the eave of a Florida home.

  • 2). Seal the opening with steel or other non-chewable material  Seal the home immediately. Stopping the rodents from getting in and out of the house makes it much easier to trap them. When the mice and rats cannot leave to get food outside, the rats in the home will be much more attracted to the trap's bait.
  •  

  • 3). Trap with the a lot of traps, and make sure you have the right size trap  The more lethal snap traps the better for controlling rats and mice. Most jobs we do are trapped about fifteen traps. Most rat control problems in Fort Lauderdale are roof rats, and the most effective traps are large snap traps (the rat size). Mice can be caught with glue traps, but rats generally cannot. If you are unsure of whether the problem is rats or mice, use multiple trap types.  Rats traps will control mice, but mouse traps will not control rats.
  • Mouse chew and gnaw causing animal damage   to  attic and home structures is the main reason to control the situation as quickly as possible.  Mice chew their surrounding constantly as part of their innate rodent behavior..  Mice in the house attic can kill electric wires, air ducts, and plumbing.  The threat to electrical wires is a real fire-hazard, and many unexplained fires are attributed to rodents living unchecked in the home's attic.

    Hollywood Mouse Control
     
    Mouse populations thrive in South Florida's warm and wet climate. The chance of rat infestation is present throughout most of the country from mice and squirrels. But warmer climate cities like Fort Lauderdale, Florida have the added animal threat: the roof rat. This pest rodent causes problems in Fort Lauderdale that you never see in cold climates like New York.



    Pest Control vs. Animal Control
    When people detect noises in the attic or see rodent dropping or chewing in the home, many people 1st call their bug pest control service for help. In general, the mouse control work provided by bug pest control companies for rodents (including rats and mice) is limited to poisoning and laying a couple glue traps. Most bug pest control companies are not ready to go into the attic or on to the roof, making any work they do superficial and at best a temporary fix for mouse control.  



    Structural Mouse & Rat Control
    If you have a mouse or rat control problem, you need to have an animal trapper who can identify the points of entry that are allowing the rodents to get into your home. Bug exterminator companies generally don't do this. Permanent mouse and rat control is what our animal control company specializes in for Florida. If you don't hire Wildlife Patrol, you need to at least find someone to address to the problem structurally and fix the building..



    Lasting mouse removal
    Rat removal and mouse elimination work can be expensive or inexpensive depending on the condition of the home. The cost of Hollywood mouse control is a one time cost, where once the home is properly taken care of, not only will the current mouse or rat problem be quickly solved, we can rodent proof the building to ensure no animals get back into the attic.

    Mouse Control in Hollywood, Florida
    Mice normally live outdoors in Florida, occasionally getting into structures. In houses, the Hollywood mouse live behind garage or attic walls and in cabinets.  The animals prefer to feed on grains but eat anything. House mice require very little food, surviving on food alone if it has high moisture. Frequently house mice range 10-30 feet from their nesting site in the home.  The mouse is brown to gray in color with the tail as long as the body. Adult mice weigh only about 1/2 ounce. Their droppings are small and can difficult to distinguish from lizard or insect waste. House mice reach sexual maturity in less than 2 months.  Rodents reproduce very quickly.  Mice, like rats and squirrels, have 5-6 young per litter and up to 8 litters per year. Florida rats and mice in the attic or home are active at night and are rarely seen during the day, it is necessary to recognize signs of their activity to stop the problem before a major infestation sinks in. Most people first recognize rodent problems by finding droppings around the house.  Old droppings are gray, dusty, and will crumble. Fresh droppings are black, shiny, and puttylike. Rodents urinate on the move, and the streaks are characteristic.
