[quote=Anonymous]Where are you located OP?  Some older, close in neighborhoods are known for vermin.  If one neighbor has them, you would be wise to bet that it is most houses.  If someone has stuff stacked against their house, fence or carport, this is a very successful draw for mice, unfortunately.  If you are close to a park, stream, etc., that would be a successful draw for mice also.  Tall grass is a draw, too.

Try the old fashioned wooden traps.  Remove all cat food/dog food or anything that might attract them.  Look for entry spots in garage/basement and use steel wool to stop the spots up.  Look for "evidence" and put traps there (peanut butter usually works).

If you have a cat or a dog, usually it is enough to deter the mice, not always - but usually.  We have a dog that caught mice in the yard as the mice ran from the neighbors house.  Yuck.

Honestly, I don't think most companies are much better than your own intervention, unless you receive a stellar review (I am unfamiliar with the one PP mentioned).

Also, bird feeders attract vermin, too.  GL.  [/quote]
