Rodent Control Services
Scratching in the walls at night, droppings under the sink, a chewed bag in the pantry. By the time you notice the signs, mice and rats are usually already settled in, and they breed fast. Mira goes after the rodents that are here now and closes off how they got in, so you’re not dealing with the same problem next month, with treatment built around your home and the family living in it.
Why Rodents
Why mice and rats are hard to clear on your own
A couple of traps from the hardware store might catch the mouse you saw. The trouble is the ones you didn’t. Mice and rats reproduce quickly, they’re cautious around new objects, and they’re small enough to get through a gap the width of a pencil. So you catch one or two, the activity seems to stop, and a few weeks later it’s back, because the real issue was never the rodents you could see. It was the way in.
That’s what makes rodent control different from a quick fix. Knocking down the current population matters, but if the entry points are still open, more will follow the same path inside. Solving it means dealing with the rodents that are here and closing the door behind them.
How We Treat
How Mira treats rodents
Inspect
We look for droppings, gnaw marks, runways, and the gaps and openings rodents are using to get in.
Bait & find the way in
We place tamper-resistant bait stations where rodents travel, and identify the entry points letting them in.
Re-service
If rodents come back between visits, so do we, at no extra charge.
For the rodents themselves, we place tamper-resistant bait stations around the exterior of your home in the areas where rodents travel and shelter. The stations are locked units, so the bait stays sealed inside and out of reach. The baiting is designed so rodents tend to move off and away from the home, which helps avoid the problem of a rodent dying somewhere inside.
Just as important is finding how they’re getting in. Rodents follow the same routes along foundations, utility lines, gaps under doors, and openings where pipes and wires enter the house. Your technician identifies these entry points so they can be addressed, because an open gap is an open invitation no matter how much baiting you do.

Kids & Pets
Is rodent control safe for kids and pets?
With rodent control, the safety question has a reassuring answer. We don’t broadcast rodent bait around your home. It goes inside locked, tamper-resistant stations placed in exterior areas, designed so that children and pets can’t get to what’s inside. The bait stays contained in the station.

If you have specific concerns, a curious dog, kids who play in the yard, just tell us when you book and your technician can place the stations accordingly and walk you through where they go and how they work. We’d rather you ask than wonder.
The Re-Service Promise
Rodents Back Between Visits? So Are We.
Rodent pressure climbs as the weather cools and mice look for somewhere warm, and activity can pick back up between your scheduled visits. If that happens, you don’t wait and you don’t pay extra. Call us and we’ll come back out to re-treat at no additional charge.
It’s part of every Mira service plan: regular scheduled treatments, plus re-service in between whenever you need it.

Not sure if it’s mice or rats?
Mice and rats leave different signs and call for a slightly different approach, and knowing which you’ve got helps. The size of the droppings, the kind of gnaw marks, and where the activity is concentrated all tell you something. Our rodents pest library breaks down the differences and what to look for.

FAQs
Rodent Control FAQs
How much does rodent control cost?
It depends on your home, how established the activity is, and how many entry points need attention. Rather than guess, we’ll give you a real number for your situation. Request a free quote and you’ll know what it costs before you commit to anything.
Is the bait safe to have around my kids and pets?
The bait is held inside locked, tamper-resistant stations placed in exterior areas, designed so children and pets can’t reach what’s inside. It isn’t scattered or left out in the open. If you have specific concerns, tell us when you book and your technician can place the stations with that in mind.
Will a rodent die inside my walls and smell?
It’s a common worry. The baiting is designed so that rodents tend to leave the area before they die, which helps avoid that situation. No approach can promise it every time, but it’s a real advantage over snap traps left inside the house.
Why do the mice keep coming back?
Almost always because the way in is still open. Rodents follow the same routes, so if the gaps and entry points around the home aren’t addressed, new rodents use the same path the last ones did. That’s why finding and closing those openings is as important as the baiting itself.
