Photo Album: Here's How the Mice Were Infesting this Home in Toms River, NJ
Openings Around the Pipe
As we inspected, we discovered several gaps around the downspout, in the siding, and around several utility pipes.
This Didn't Work
The homeowner tried to seal these openings using some sort of spray foam. Although this seems like a good idea, it doesn't work as the mice will chew right through it, which is exactly what they did here!
Cracked & Broken
One of the exhaust vents was damaged too. We offered to replace it for the homeowner, but he decided to do it on his own.
Setting up the Bait Stations
First, we carefully cleaned up all the mice droppings and properly disposed of them. Next, we installed several rodent bait stations in the living room, the two adjacent rooms, the attic, and along the exterior of the home.
On the First Follow Up
On our first follow up visit we will replenish the bait in the bait stations as needed, remove all the foaming adhesive from all the gaps, stuff them with chew-proof metal mesh, and seal them with a premium, waterproof adhesive.
