What does a small boutique restaurant shop do about mice when they are spotless clean yet they are attached to other stores? This is what often happens in a mall because pests don’t know property lines! Your neighbors pest issue can easily become yours! That is the case here. The two restaurants in the strip mall have mice but EHS does not service them. The mice branched out to the store we do service. The only thing we could do was completely exclude (using stainless steel mesh screening) every possible opening so the mice would not be able to get in. Totally organic pest control! Complete structural exclusion for mice! The results were immediate as the store was not longer seeing any mice activity. Another unique pest solution by EHS!

Before	After

Mice can get into openings as little as ¼” which is the diameter of a dime. In some cases they (like most of us) have put on a few pounds which can make fitting into things a bit snug. In this case a plump mouse tried to get through a void and got stuck and died. In all seriousness the picture shows how sneaky and dangerous mice are in your home!

They chew on electrical areas and they can easily cause a fire. Mice are nothing to take for granted and try to treat yourself! Trust EHS to protect your home and property!
