High Desert Pest Control
Mouse Control
Mice squeeze through gaps the size of a dime, getting into garages, attics, and walls. They chew wiring, contaminate food, and reproduce quickly once they're established.

Deal with the mice inside and the way they got in. We knock down the active population inside and out, find the entry points, which can be any gap bigger than about a quarter inch, and follow up to confirm they are gone. Exterior bait stations then catch new arrivals before they find the same way in.
Signs of a mouse problem
- Droppings in cabinets, drawers, or the garage
- Gnaw marks on food packaging, wires, or wood
- Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or the ceiling at night
How we handle it
We knock down the active population inside and out, identify and address entry points, and follow up to confirm they're gone and staying gone.

How mice get inside
- Gaps where utilities enter the house — gas, electric, cable, water
- Garage door corners and worn weather seals
- Roof penetrations around vents, pipes, and chimney bases
- Cracks in the foundation and gaps in crawlspace vents
When they're most active
Mouse activity spikes in fall as temperatures drop and they look for warm shelter indoors. A single pregnant female that gets inside in October can produce dozens of offspring before spring. Winter is peak indoor activity; spring brings outdoor breeding.
What you can do before we get there
A few quick things you can do today that'll make any treatment — ours or your own — work better.
- Seal every gap larger than a quarter inch — mice fit through anything bigger
- Store pet food and birdseed in sealed metal containers
- Don't leave garage doors open longer than necessary
- Trim tree limbs back from the roof — they're rodent highways
Questions about mouse control
Are mice dangerous?+
They can be. Mouse droppings and urine contaminate food and surfaces, and some wild mice in California carry hantavirus — so never sweep or vacuum droppings dry; wet them down with disinfectant first. Mice also chew wiring, which is a fire risk inside walls and attics.
How do mice get into my house?+
Through any gap bigger than about a quarter inch — around utility lines, garage door corners, roof vents and foundation cracks. Finding and addressing those entry points is as important as dealing with the mice already inside.
When are mice worst in the High Desert?+
Fall and winter. As nights get colder, mice move indoors looking for warmth, and a single female that gets in during October can produce dozens of young before spring.
