Frequently Asked Questions
How do mice get into my house?
Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as a dime (1/4 inch). Common entry points include gaps around pipes and wires, foundation cracks, garage doors, dryer vents, and where siding meets foundation. They climb walls and enter at roofline too.
Are mice dangerous beyond being a nuisance?
Yes, mice pose real health risks. They contaminate food with droppings and urine, spread diseases including hantavirus and salmonella, trigger allergies and asthma, and cause fire hazards by gnawing electrical wiring. Prompt control is important.
Can you treat mice in Andover's historic homes?
Absolutely. We specialize in treating older Andover properties using methods that won't damage historic materials. Our targeted approach eliminates pests while preserving your home's character.
