Mouse Control in Joliet, IL

Mouse control in Joliet, IL pairs trapping with exclusion, because mice squeeze through gaps as small as a dime and keep coming until those gaps are sealed. Scratching in the walls at night and droppings in cabinets are the signs the mice have already found a way in.

Frequently asked questions

How small a gap can a mouse get through?

A house mouse can squeeze through a gap about the size of a dime — roughly a quarter inch — which is why sealing even small openings is central to keeping them out.

Why do mice come in every fall?

Mice move toward warmth and food as temperatures drop, so fall is peak season. In the Joliet area, harvest displaces field mice at the same time, adding to the pressure.

Are glue traps a good idea?

Glue traps are slow and often considered inhumane, and they do nothing to stop more mice entering. Snap traps plus sealing the entry points is a faster, more complete approach.
