Rodent Control in Post Falls, Idaho

Rodent control in Post Falls is the timber-country and the river-corridor pressure working with the cold winters. The deer mice are the common rodent of the forest edge, and they move in from the timber and the brushy lots when the weather turns. The house mice work the established neighborhoods, and the first hard freeze sends the entire population indoors. The exclusion, the trapping, and the baiting are the foundation of the Post Falls rodent program.

Why the timber edge matters

The Post Falls rodent pressure is driven by the surrounding timber and the river. The forest edge and the brushy lots hold the deer mice, and the river corridor draws the wildlife and the rodents to the water. The deer mice are the primary hantavirus carrier in the region.

Signs of rodents in Post Falls

• Scratching and scurrying in the walls and the ceilings at night.
• Droppings in the kitchen cabinets, the pantry, the basement, and the attic.
• Gnaw marks on the baseboards, the wiring, the insulation, and the stored items.
• Nesting material — the shredded paper, the fabric, and the insulation.
• Grease marks along the baseboards and the pipe runs.

How rodent control works

1. Inspection. The technician maps the entire structure and the timber edge.
2. Exclusion. The foundation gaps, the utility penetrations, the door thresholds, and the roofline openings are sealed.
3. Trapping and baiting. The stations are placed in the tamper-resistant boxes.
4. Monitoring. The stations are checked on the schedule.
5. Annual check. The exclusion is inspected each fall before the freeze.

Prevention between the seasons

• Seal the foundation gaps in the late summer, before the first freeze.
• Keep the food in the sealed containers — the pantry items, the pet food, the birdseed.
• Trim the vegetation away from the foundation so the mice do not have the cover.
• Clear the brush piles away from the house — the timber-edge harborage.
• Book the annual exclusion check in September, before the freeze pushes the population indoors.

The Post Falls homes that do not have the mice in the winter are the ones where the exclusion was done in September. The timber-edge home seals the perimeter, the in-town home seals the garage, and the bait stations catch the ones that are already inside.
