Mice Removal & Prevention

Mice are the #1 pest problem I treat in St. Louis. I don't just eliminate the mice you see—I find how they're getting in and stop them for good.

Why St. Louis Homes Get Mice

St. Louis has a perfect storm for mouse problems: older homes with settling foundations, harsh winters that drive mice indoors, and established neighborhoods with mature landscaping that provides cover.

Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as a dime. The historic homes in areas like Clayton, University City, and the Central West End often have dozens of potential entry points that have developed over decades.

A single pair of mice can produce 5-10 litters per year, with 5-6 pups each. That's why acting quickly is so important—and why I focus on elimination AND prevention.

Signs You Have Mice

  • Droppings

    Small, dark pellets (1/4 inch) near food sources or along walls

  • Gnaw marks

    On food packaging, wood, or plastic

  • Scratching sounds

    In walls or ceiling, especially at night

  • Musty odor

    A distinctive smell from mouse urine

  • Nesting materials

    Shredded paper, fabric, or insulation

My 3-Step Mice Elimination Process

I don't just set traps and leave. Here's the comprehensive approach I use.

1

Find the Entry Points

I personally inspect your home inside and out, identifying every gap, crack, and hole mice could use to enter. This is the step most pest companies skip.

2

Eliminate the Infestation

Using professional-grade bait stations and traps strategically placed along mouse pathways, I eliminate the existing population quickly and safely.

3

Seal & Prevent

I'll show you exactly what needs to be sealed to keep mice out. Many entry points are DIY-fixable with the right materials.

Common Entry Points I Find

Foundation Gaps

Where concrete meets brick or siding

Garage Doors

Worn weather stripping at the bottom

Utility Penetrations

Around pipes, wires, and HVAC lines

Dryer Vents

Missing or damaged vent covers

Sill Plates

Gap between foundation and framing

AC Lines

Holes drilled for refrigerant lines

Old Basement Windows

Deteriorating frames and seals

Crawl Space Vents

Damaged or missing vent screens
