Photo Album: Multiple Openings Means Multiple Mice Infestations in Old Bridge, NJ
Gaps Full of Presents
I began inspecting and found several large gaps and openings around several utility pipes, basement windows, and in the foundation that were filled with droppings. As I took a closer look, I was able to identify them as mouse droppings.
Tiniest Opening is an Entrance
Even a small gap around the hose was filled with droppings! Mice only need an opening the width of a pencil to enter a home. I also found more mouse droppings in the basement, living room, and dining room. This was a large mouse infestation.
Block Their Entrances
After carefully cleaning up the droppings, I'm going to plug every single opening on the exterior and interior of the home with chew-proof steel mesh and then seal it in place with a waterproof adhesive.
RTU Bait Stations
I also placed several interior Ready-to-Use rodent bait stations throughout the home as well as placed several exterior rodent bait stations along the perimeter of the home. Due to the large infestation, I scheduled several follow-up visits to monitor the infestation and replenish the bait station.
