Mice are about as adaptable as any animal on the planet! I have seen mice eat things that humans would not even remotely consider tasting let alone eat! Ketchup is certainly an edible food but not exactly a meal…..except for mice. The attached image shows that mice completely cleaned out an individual packet of ketchup. Just this little amount of food is enough to support a mouse infestation.

This packet was found in a soon to open restaurant. Needless to say they needed EHS to protect the facility and their reputation before they even opened their doors. They put their trust in EHS and we take it seriously!

So what are you looking at??? This is the unofficial-official “Mice Trap Gauntlet”

So the story goes...... a homeowner in Rhode Island has been battling mice for over a year. They tried several methods of “do it yourself” pest control and failed miserably. The mice were getting worse. They called EHS to solve the long-standing mice issue. When I get there I see this VERY elaborate contraption in the kitchen. The homeowner explained to me the mouse trap that was made up of 13 mouse traps.

The goal of the trap is to kill the mice as they investigate the food (peanut butter) but if they survive the 1st wave of traps then they go up the “ramp of death”.

They then try to get to the peanut butter smeared on the soda bottle, it then spins causing them to fall into the pit where additional traps wait for them. According to the homeowner it took two hours to create. They realized they could spend their time on better things plus all their efforts & they still had mice! There was a happy ending, EHS eliminated the mouse issue.
