I think I have mice. Anyone know average cost to get rid of them from a pest control service?

I will tell you this. Whatever it costs it is worth it. Most of the time you have to treat all your interior walls, and you might have to get rid of some couches chairs etc where nesting could be taking place. Also, in many cases there is a big crack or other entry point new mice get in and out. The exterminator can find this point and recommend sealing it. It is not uncommon for a home infested with mice to have ten thousand mice in the walls. Do it now.I think I have mice. Anyone know average cost to get rid of them from a pest control service?
Try placing cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil in small container (lid) around. Mice don't like the smell.I think I have mice. Anyone know average cost to get rid of them from a pest control service?
Glue traps are the best method to trap rats and mice . I found detailed information at http://pests.in
Usually there is a initial consultation fee and then they charge you per mice caught. Sometimes it's around $40 per mouse caught. Usually the contract is for a year (or other period that you select) and whatever they catch you pay for.
If you don't like the price quoted by the exterminator, or if you can't wait you can start getting rid of them now. You can't be squeamish, you need to find the hole where they are gaining entry first and seal it up. Place steel wool in openings inside your house, put out decon for them to eat, make sure all food is sealed in hard plastic or metal containers so they will eat the decon. and get a lot of glue and snap traps. place the glue traps along the walls and the snap traps near openings. Smear peanut butter in the center of the glue traps with a piece of popcorn, and twist peanutbbutter in a tiny piece of foil and jam it into the bait holder section of the snap traps. this is important because the mice can lick the peanut butter off without setting off the trap so jam it in there good. It doesn't have to pe big because they love that smell. When you hear the traps snap, just throw them out and replace it with a new one. It's gorey sometimes, but soon you will start catching babies. keep replacing the traps as soon as you see the mouse caught. Sometimes they are still alive so don't be squeamish. It takes about a month. After you see no more sighs of mice, keep fresh traps down th make sure you got them all.
