A Startling Morning Discovery
Early this morning, a customer called about an unwelcome visitor in their bathtub. No, not Uncle Ed – a furry little house mouse!
Why Mice Invade in Fall
As fall approaches, rodent control calls skyrocket. Here’s why:
- Harvest time: Wheat fields and crops are cut, destroying mouse habitats and food sources.
- Temperature drop: Mice seek warm shelter as nights get cooler.
