Mice are a common cool-weather call in Endeavour Hills. Once autumn arrives, they move from gardens, reserves and nearby parkland into homes, looking for warmth and food. They can squeeze through a gap about the width of a pencil, so even a well-kept home can end up with mice in the pantry or behind the kitchen kickboards.
Signs include small, dark droppings in drawers and cupboards, chewed food packets, shredded paper and light scratching in the walls or ceiling after dark. Mice breed quickly, so a couple can turn into many within a few weeks. The crew we book checks where they are getting in, where they are feeding and where they are nesting, then places traps or lockable bait stations along the routes they use. In older homes around Endeavour Hills, gaps under kitchen cupboards and around the hot water service are common entry points worth checking.
- Pantries, kitchen cupboards and drawers checked for droppings
- Roof space inspected where the manhole allows access
- Traps or bait stations placed out of reach of kids and pets
- Gaps around pipes, vents and doors pointed out for sealing
- Advice on storing food and pet food in sealed containers
Traps can suit a small problem inside the house, while bait stations tend to suit roof spaces, garages and sheds. The crew will talk through which option fits your home and show you where everything has been placed, so you can check on it afterwards. Sealing the gaps they point out is the key step to keep new mice from moving in next season.
