How do you keep mice out of your house in Minnesota? Find the gaps and seal them. Our exclusion team inspects the exterior, seals entry points with rodent-proof materials, then traps and baits as needed. Ongoing monitoring catches any new activity. Voles, gophers, and moles damage lawns and need their own targeted approach.

Common questions

How do mice get in?
Through tiny gaps in foundations, around pipes, under doors, and through vents. A mouse can fit through a gap the size of a dime. Sealing those gaps is the first step.
Do you handle voles, gophers, and moles too?
Yes, we handle voles, gophers, and moles that damage lawns with tunnels and mounds. The approach is different from indoor mice control and may include trapping and baiting.
How many visits does it take?
Most rodent problems need an initial exclusion and sealing visit, then monitoring to confirm the problem is resolved. A monthly rodent plan keeps them out long term.
