Absolutely. All right. So there are five reasons why any, any person should want to consult with an exterminator for their for their house, especially for mice. And the number five reason I’ll start with number five is that when you’re cleaning your house, whether it’s spring cleaning, or just take an item to your house, if you find a nesting material that’s been abandoned. Sometimes, you know, you’ll find as you’re cleaning out a closet or maybe the garage. In the corner you’ll see shredded up paper or pieces of fabric. groups that look like they have been torn apart and little pieces. This is a, this is evidence that there’s been an abandoned nest that the mice were probably living in at some point in time. So you’ll find shredded up material, that’s a clear sign that you’ve had building activity in your house. And this would be a definite reason you might want to call out an exterminator. The number four reason to call an exterminator is if you have any experience with strong odors, strong noxious odors, sometimes maybe not throughout the house, but if you as you walk through your home, if you pass the area, maybe it’s a closet, maybe it’s a place in the kitchen where the air doesn’t seem to be quite as fresh. You know, it’s that you’re any type of of noxious odor. If you start to look, you may find that you have an issue with with roads, a lot of times When people report odors that you know, are out of place and they started looking, they start to find nesting materials as well you know, shredded up paper and things of that sort. So that’s definitely odor, strong odors. Definitely a reason to call an exterminator. Number three, is if you find droppings, any type of rodent droppings that you find when you come into the kitchen or in your house if you see rodent droppings on the stove on a countertop around the appliances, this is a definite sign that you have an issue with rodents and you might want to call out a professional to start looking and moving some things around and see if you can find holes or entry points where those mice are coming in. Number two is if your DIY efforts have failed, if all of your do it yourself, you know methods have failed if you’ve been trying traps and monitors and buying stuff from home depot wherever it is from the hardware store or local hardware store and you’ve been trying these things and they’re not working out.

It’s time to call in a professional data point. If you know what you’ve been doing, it’s just not working. And the first and the number one reason to call an exterminator is if you are seeing live mice, if you actually see mice shooting across your floor, if they’re coming out to run across the floor and players are sitting there watching television or you come in the kitchen, turn the lights on, you see my eyes racing from the refrigerator, it’s still hidden spouse screaming in the next room because of seeing mice. This is definitely time to call in a professional and especially if you see in my savings during the day. You know by nature, they’re nocturnal animals they typically come out as the sun is going down and what if you see him doing a date as definitely cause for alarm. You will want to get that Taking care of as soon as possible. So those are the top five reasons to call out an exterminator for months if you see any of those things.
