Curtis Daniels from Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control in Ottawa is in Stittsville inspecting a home where mice have been a problem for three to four years. The homeowners have been finding mice in the basement, under the kitchen sink, and behind the stove, despite trying traps and bait stations.
In this video, Curtis walks through the exterior inspection process to uncover how the mice are getting inside. Clear evidence is found in the garage, including staining on a ledge and a large hole underneath—an active entry point allowing mice into the wall cavity. Once inside the walls, mice can spread quickly throughout the home.
Curtis explains what homeowners should watch for outside their own homes, including:
Staining along foundations or ledges
Holes through insulation in garages
Heavy concentrations of droppings
If you see a lot of droppings within a small area, there’s almost always an entry point nearby.
If you’re dealing with mice and want answers! Not guesswork, Skedaddle’s team can help with a professional assessment and long-term solution.
