Mouse Control in Middleburg, FL

House mice are the most common rodent call in Middleburg, and most calls start the same way: something is heard in a wall or a cabinet at night, or droppings turn up in a kitchen drawer or under the sink. A technician starts by walking the inside and outside of the house, since mice can be active in the attic, the kitchen, and the garage at the same time once a colony is established.

Older homes near the center of town, closer to Main Street Park and Boat Ramp, tend to have more small gaps around original plumbing and window frames. Newer construction further from the creek can still let mice in through garage door gaps and utility penetrations. Either way, the inspection covers the full perimeter, not just the room where activity was noticed.

Once entry points and travel routes are mapped, snap traps and enclosed bait stations go in the places mice actually use, based on droppings, grease marks, and gnaw damage rather than guesswork. Kitchens, pantries, and areas behind large appliances get particular attention, since mice nest close to a reliable food source.

• Traps placed along walls and behind appliances, not out in the open floor.
• Stations checked and reset on a schedule until activity stops.
• Any nesting material found in cabinets or wall voids is removed and bagged.

A mouse can fit through a gap about the width of a pencil, so sealing focuses on the small stuff that is easy to miss: gaps around pipe penetrations, weep holes, and the bottom corners of garage doors. We use materials mice cannot chew through, not spray foam alone, since foam slows them down for a matter of days at most.

We schedule a follow-up to confirm the traps are clear and that no new activity has started at a different point in the house. If droppings or noise continue after the first visit, tell us exactly where, since a second entry point is common in houses with additions or crawl space access from more than one side.
