Mice

A family of 6 mice can grow to 50-60 mice in 90 days. Mice will burrow into homes, porches, decks, attics and crawl spaces. They can access your home through an opening the size of a dime. They find their way into kitchens, pantries and food storage areas. Mice are excellent climbers. They are omnivores and will eat almost anything. They can cause a lot of damage to insulation, wiring and wood.

Rats

Rats can be a problem even in newer buldings with excellent sanitation. Rats will eat practically anything humans eat. They will eat from gardens, trees even ornamental shrubs and flowers. Rats can contaminate whatever they come in contact with. They can gnaw plastic, cinder block, wood and upholstery.

The Ransford Rat Program

Norway Rats are highly intelligent and nocturnal. While a Mouse will “nibble” on bait, one Rat can consume all 8 blox in a station in a single sitting. This is why multiple trips and a lot of materials are used.
