Do you have mice in the house?
These folks do. And they don't know why.
It's a bit of an unusual request to get me to try to determine why there are mice in the house. Usually that would be left to some pest company, and responding to some ad coupon received in the mail.
So I asked why they called me.
"We asked around our neighborhood, and you have been here many times.
Our neighbors all said the same thing - to call you because you would be fair and not try to sell us something."
Wow! They get it!
I have been called before to investigate this or that pest problem. And they are right, I do not try to sell some prevention package. I do not "find" problems that don't exist.
So, can you see the mouse highway into the house?
Look again. It's there! Around that tubing are biggie gaps!
My recommendation: any form of pest, from winged to four legs to insect to slither, will try to get into a house. Animals are very opportunistic! They sense the warmth. They smell the food. They are looking for safety and comfort. Any opening that is available to animals will be used to get in! Bats and birds, for example, only need a 1/4" opening to get into the house! So, if you have pests in the house, of whatever ilk, walk around and try to see where your pests are getting in. And take care of it! And calling a home inspector might be smart. It will certainly give you an honest assessment that does not try to sell you something more.
