Mice Removal: Our Process

Mice feces carry a harmful disease known as hantavirus that can cause you to get very sick.

Mice can sneak in to your home in a hole as small of a 1/4 inch which does not make it easy to control.

Anypest will do a thorough inspection of entire house and most importantly the attic.

The Anypest technician will seal any holes or voids with wire mesh and spray foam to ensure your home is sealed. Simply removing the mice from your home won’t be enough and we will also ensure they are not able to re-enter your home.

The second part is to bait the entire interior of your home with bait boxes filled with poison blocks, the poison blocks are designed to mummify the mice so there is no odour.

Mice can also climb up your exterior walls and get into your attic then gain entry to your home,  we bait the attic with poison packets inside bait boxes.

Anypest can also clean and disinfect mice feces with Eco friendly sanitizer. Contact us now if you want to remove mice for good.
