Safeguard Gets Rid of Mice! |
| |
What we do to get rid of Mice: |
We exterminate the mice you have.
We work with you to prevent the mice from re-infesting in the future |
| |
| Getting rid of your mice is an easy 3 step process: |
1. We put out mouse control materials in all areas of activity to to quickly and safely get rid of your mice. However, the most valuable service we provide is:
During our initial visit we also perform a thorough whole home inspection to determine how to make your home less attractive to mice and how to make your home mouse proof. We explain the results of that inspection to you and give you an estimate of what it would take to professionally rodent proof your home.
2. Within two weeks, upon acceptance of our estimate, we return to rodent proof your home, or inspect your rodent proofing efforts, and perform a rodent follow-up service to remove any dead mice and ensure that our control efforts are working.
3. In approximately two additional weeks, if the home has been completely rodent proofed, we perform a final inspection and remove our control materials.
Most homes should be free of mice at this point. |

Mouse Control - The Details |
There is never just one mouse. They never live alone. If they've been in your home for more than ten days - the chances are they have had their first set of babies. They have 6 to 10 sets of 6 to 10 young every year.
Among the mouse control materials we use are several different very effective kinds of traps. The trick with traps is not just what you put on them but also where you put them. We stress rodent proofing because mice do eventually learn that traps are deadly and they start avoiding them.
If you don't rodent proof your home completely - they will always re-infest.
Some types of mice can carry the deadly hanta virus and we do not recommend that home owners control mice, remove mice, clean-up after mice, or work in mouse infested areas. |

How much does mouse control cost? |
The initial service where we put out the mouse control materials and perform the whole home inspection typically runs $175.00 to $195.00 for the average home of 2500 square feet or less with one fairly easy to crawl sub area under the home and one fairly easy to crawl roof void above the home.
Follow-up services typically run $75-95.00 for the same home described above.
We wouldn't know what it would cost or take to rodent proof your home prior to our whole home inspection. Every home is different. |

| What is rodent proofing and why is it important? |
|
| Rodent proofing called 'build-out' or exclusion is the most important part of any effort to get rid of mice. Have your rodent proofing performed by experts using only proven mouse proofing methods and materials. |
| |
Do we provide free competing bids? |
Exclusion is so vital that we may not be able to rid your home of mice without it - and mice will always re-infest if it is not done.
Some homes only need to have a vent mended or a small hole plugged, and these things can be done relatively inexpensively. Sometimes rodent exclusion is more involved and expensive.
If you have received an involved and expensive exclusion bid from another company, we would be happy to give you a competing bid. To do so, you must provide us with a copy of their bid. Otherwise, we will have to perform a whole home inspection and charge you for the inspection. |
| |
| Do we provide crawlspace clean-up services? |
We do provide the clean-up services most homes need and would be happy to give you an estimate for these services as well.
However, we don't push crawlspace clean-ups like many other companies seem to these days.
Some companies are really pushing clean-ups and charge thousands of dollars to come in a replace your all your insulation. We feel that is rarely necessary. We are seeing customers who have paid $3000.00 to $5000.00 several times and still have rodents.
We pride ourselves on doing really good rodent proofing work, but homes change over time, vents get broken, access doors get left open, trees and other vegetation grow and provide future access.
A lot of companies are using misleading health scare tactics to convince people to spend thousands and we don't feel it is always necessary or ethical. |

Safeguard Pest Control - rodent control and more. |
One of our most popular services is a quarterly pest control program. These programs can be customized to fit your needs. Since mice can get into such tiny spaces, it's not unusual for us to recommend an ongoing service - depending on the home.
We can set up and monitor exterior rodent control stations and / or we can provide spray services to control crawling insects, ants, spiders, wasps, and more.
Please call us or ask your mouse control technician for more info. |
