Contamination
Difficult problems generally calls for the use of snap traps or glueboards
Use traps in large numbers wherever you find droppings, food sources, and signs of gnawing
Mouse traps should be placed perpendicular and close to the wall, behind furniture, and behind or to the side of large appliances
A line or concentration of droppings is usually an indication of a rodent runway; mice repeatedly travel back and forth across the area, and this runway is an excellent location to place traps
Look for openings in the wall behind stoves and under dishwashers or adjacent cabinets, these are frequently entrance points for rodents; traps placed to either side of the opening can give quick results
Drop ceilings are also a very common area for rodent runways; In a drop ceiling, mice will travel along under ducts and near electrical lines as well as the walls
Exclusion work on the exterior should be done with copper or steel wool, foam, and small wire mesh
Can squeeze through an opening the size of a dime, so entrance points should be sealed thoroughly
Proper weather stripping and exterior doors that close tightly will reduce both insect and rodent problems
