Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent mice in my lake home before winter?

As temperatures drop, mice seek warmth and shelter in lake homes and single-family residences. To prevent infestations, seal gaps around doors, windows, and pipes, remove exterior food sources, and keep attics and basements organized. Regular inspections and proactive measures can help keep your West Metro and Central Minnesota home mouse-free all winter.

What pests are common in West Metro homes?

West Metro and Central Minnesota homes often face ants, spiders, wasps, rodents like mice and rats, and seasonal invaders such as centipedes or crickets.
