Why Trust Our Team For Mice

When you invite a company into your home or business, you want to know who you are working with. As a locally owned company founded in Athens more than 50 years ago, we understand how local construction styles, crawlspaces, and weather patterns affect mouse activity and entry points.

Every technician who visits your property is licensed, background checked, and rigorously trained. We hold QualityPro certification, which is a nationally recognized mark for pest control companies that commit to high standards in hiring, training, and safety. Our technicians continue their education regularly so they stay current on modern rodent management methods and technologies.

We are also members of the National Pest Management Association and maintain an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. These affiliations reflect our commitment to professionalism, ethical service, and long-term customer care. When you contact us about a mouse issue, you are working with a team that your neighbors already rely on for rodent control solutions across northeast Georgia.

Mouse Problems In Local Properties

Mice can slip through surprisingly small gaps, and many properties in and around Athens provide plenty of opportunities for them to get inside. Older homes with crawlspaces, vents, or aging siding may have unsealed openings around pipes and utility lines. Student rentals and multi-unit housing can experience higher activity due to frequent movement and shared walls.

Once inside, mice usually stay close to food and shelter. They travel along walls, behind appliances, and through cabinets and storage areas. In kitchens and pantry spaces, they are drawn to packaging, crumbs, and accessible water sources. Garages, basements, and enclosed storage rooms also provide quiet nesting areas.

Beyond being a nuisance, mice pose real health risks. They can contaminate surfaces and food with droppings and urine, damage insulation and stored belongings, and chew wiring, increasing the risk of electrical issues. Businesses that serve food or work with the public may also face compliance concerns if rodents are present.

Our Mouse Inspection & Removal Process

When you contact our team about a possible mouse infestation, we begin with a free inspection of your property. One of our technicians will look for droppings, gnaw marks, nesting material, rub marks, and openings that mice may be using to enter the structure. We inspect common problem areas such as crawlspaces, attics, utility lines, kitchens, storage rooms, and exterior foundation points.

After the inspection, we explain our findings in clear, straightforward language. We review where mice are active, how they are getting inside, and what conditions may be supporting the problem. From there, we outline a customized plan that may include targeted treatments, exclusion work, and recommendations for sanitation or maintenance improvements.

We use modern techniques and products designed to be effective while prioritizing safety for people, pets, and the environment. Our approach aligns with best practices used across residential and commercial properties and complements other services such as residential pest control and commercial pest control.

Long Term Rodent Prevention Solutions

Removing existing mice is only part of the solution. Long-term mouse control depends on preventing new rodents from entering and reducing the conditions that attract them. During service, we identify entry points and discuss practical steps to address them, such as sealing gaps, repairing damaged vents, and improving weatherstripping.

We also evaluate factors like moisture, clutter, and storage practices. Damp crawlspaces and basements can attract pests and contribute to broader structural issues, which is why we often recommend pairing rodent services with moisture control solutions or crawlspace services when appropriate.

For homes and businesses, ongoing maintenance plans provide added protection. Our quarterly programs focus on monitoring, prevention, and early response so small issues do not turn into major infestations. Many clients appreciate having one trusted provider who can also assist with termite control, mosquito control, and wildlife control as part of a broader pest management strategy.

Simple habits that support rodent prevention include:

• Storing food in sealed containers instead of open bags or boxes
• Keeping trash in containers with tight fitting lids and removing it regularly
• Reducing clutter in storage areas so mice have fewer hiding spots
• Checking around foundations and utility lines for new gaps or damage
• Fixing minor leaks or standing water issues in crawlspaces and basements

Safe Mouse Control For Families

Many people hesitate to call a pest control company because they worry about how treatments might affect children, pets, or sensitive environments. Safety is central to how we plan and deliver our services. Our technicians use products and tools according to label directions and industry standards, and we explain any precautions before treatment begins.

We regularly work in homes with young children, schools, healthcare facilities, and other sensitive settings. Our experience allows us to tailor mouse control plans to these environments while maintaining effectiveness. If you have specific concerns about allergies, pets, or health conditions, we are happy to discuss them during your free inspection.
