Mice are Rarely Nice.

Especially when you find them in your home in the dead of winter, they are NOT!  During the winter months, the last thing you probably think to worry about is mice.  A rodent or mouse infestation is probably way down on the list.  However, the fact is, during this cooler and less hospitable time of the year, mice and rodents can become a real problem.

Mice are just like other animals. They simply want to stay warm. They are looking for easy access to food and they want to find a place where they can hide away and be safe from predators…especially humans.  This means rodents like mice will do what they can to enter your home or building.

Whether it is a family dwelling or a commercial building in Chicagoland, mice are always unwelcomed guests at any time of the year.  Be diligent in all seasons and protect your environment from a mouse infestation by calling A Complete Pest Solution.  They are THE solution to any pest problems in Chicagoland.  Just call (630) 464-1542.

Mouse, Mouse, Everywhere a Mouse.

While there are many rodents that call Chicagoland home, there are only a few that make themselves a nuisance to home and business owners.  However, these are pests that can get inside structures and cause all sorts of problems if they are allowed to build nests and begin multiplying. They can spread disease and cause damage by their constant chewing.

Here are some of them –

1.  Deer mice found mostly in rural areas

2.  Field mice who come indoors when the weather changes

3.  Norway rats that enter homes and feed on larger items such as dog food, etc.

If you have any evidence of a mouse in the house, rest assured that there are more of them lurking about.  Don’t hesitate!  Call A Complete Pest Solution immediately.  They are Chicagoland’s rodent control experts and have been so for decades.  That’s A Complete Pest Solution at (630) 464-1542.   

Eeekers Everywhere.

Mice are not ready to disappear into wherever they go in the Winter around Chicagoland.  Here is the life of a mouse at the beginning of November.  If they are inside your house, they do not hibernate during cold seasons. They spend the winter actively foraging for food and seeking shelter.  Worse than that, they are thinking about reproduction!

Since seeds and grass are not readily available they seek food inside your abode.  Here are some of the tell-tale signs –

1.  Droppings that look like chocolate sprinkles.  Don’t let your toddler pick them up.

2.  Shredded paper.  It is good nest material.

3.  Chew marks in boxes, etc.

4.  Urine stains.  You probably have quite an infestation at this point.

Kurt and his team from A Complete Pest Solution hate mice as much as you do.  They serve no purpose in your castle.  So, let them rid you of these nasty creatures once and for all without harming the four-legged friends that dwell in your home.  If you have a mouse infestation in Chicagoland call A Complete Pest Solution at (630) 464-1542.

Field Mouse 101.

We don’t think that you will see this on the curriculum at Northwestern University.  Living in suburban Chicagoland has its perks.  There are many wide-open spaces with fields nearby.  Unfortunately, the countryside is a haven for field mice as well.  These are not house mice and differ in appearance and behavior.

Know your enemy!  Here are some tips to help rid your household of field mice –

1.  Set traps in appropriate and safe places.

2.  Seal up all entryways.

3.  In the end, hire a professional exterminator.
