How We Remove Mice From The Attic
There are many unique situations when it comes to removing mice from the attic in Hernando County. Most of the time removing mice is a straightforward process.
Our Straightforward process of removing mice from the attic:
- Find the areas the mice are going in and out of the attic and seal them.
- We use only metal based material to seal the mouse entry points, preferably steel. This prevents mice from chewing through and ending back up in the attic.
- Inspect the attic to see where the mouse activity has been and set mouse traps in those areas.
- We check all ductwork, a common highway system for mice. Then we find the trails and tunnels mice create in the insulation.
- Continue trapping until the mouse population is gone. Could be a 1-3 week process with no obstacles. During this process we also:
- Check areas that were sealed to make sure they didn’t chew through.
- Check the entire property to make sure there are no new mouse holes as sometimes they will create new openings.
- Record the amount of mice being caught and removed. We want to see the count less and less on each visit.
- Ask the customer what they have been experiencing since last visit.
- Once traps are all still baited and set, and the customer is no longer hearing the activity, we sanitize the attic and entry points.
- This removes a lot of the bacteria left behind by the mouse urine and feces.
- This also removes the mouse scent or pheromones from the attic and entry points.

Sometimes there are different obstacles that can make removing mice from the attic difficult…
- Waiting to remove mice from the attic.
- This allows mice to store food in the attic. When mice store food in the attic, they tend to not go to the traps we set even if the entry points are sealed.
- This allows the mouse population to increase in size, making the job require more visits to remove them.
- Not removing other food sources from where the mice can get to.
- This is common for homes in Hernando County, as many people use their garage as storage and the access to the attic is in the garage. Mice can eat a lot of every day items including kitty litter, pet feces, car parts, plastic containers, and more. We want to make sure this potential mouse food is cleared out during the process.

Removing Mice From Under Mobile & Modular Homes
Hernando County is home to many different mobile and modular homes. Skirting is the only barrier to protect the wires, ac ducts, vapor barrier, insulation, plumbing, structural components, and any stored items.
Most skirting in Hernando County is made up of Vinyl due to is low cost and easy install. Unfortunately, the vinyl material cracks and chips over time. This cracking can be caused by weather, age, or accidental damage, like hitting with a weed trimmer. Once the areas are open, this is an invitation for mice to make nests underneath.
Skirting also only rests on top of the ground in most cases we’ve seen in Hernando County. This allows mice to dig holes right underneath the rail supporting the skirting and go right under the home to nest.
