Traps and stations are placed in tamper-resistant boxes out of reach of pets and children, and the products are used per the label. We point out the placements during the service.

Q: How do rodents get into Anna Maria homes?

Mice fit through a gap the size of a dime. They come through pipe penetrations, vents, garage doors, and gaps in the foundation, and in the fall they move indoors ahead of the cold.

Q: Do you seal the entry points or just trap?

We do both. Trapping removes the active rodents, and exclusion seals the building so new ones cannot get in. A trap-only job leaves the door open for the next invasion.
