Not much is worse than seeing mice scurry across the floor. Except when those mice are scurrying across the floor in a nursing home or medical facilities. People view these facilities as the epitome of cleanliness. And seeing mice running around does not scream cleanliness to most; as it shouldn’t.
If you are running one of these nursing homes or medical facilities you may feel like your options are limited when treating a mouse problem. You can’t use chemicals because they aren’t going to be safe for your patients or due to legalities in some areas. You already have a pest control company and nothing is being caught. You just have to live with it right?
Wrong! You have options for dealing with your mouse problem. And we are here today to tell you exactly how to deal with it.
Why is it Important To Get Rid of Mice in Nursing Homes ASAP?
No one likes to see feral mice around. At all. But they especially don’t want to see them when visiting their loved ones in any type of medical facility. Not to mention mice carry a lot of diseases.
For nursing homes, schools, medical facilities, and the like this is DANGEROUS. When running any of these types of facilities you are doing your best to keep everyone in there as safe as possible. Keeping mice out is another way to keep everyone safe.
It may feel frustrating knowing that you have been working your hardest to keep the mice out but they keep coming back. There are ways to fix this and you don’t have to live with a mouse infestation.
Why Aren’t My Current Mouse Traps Working?
Just because your current traps aren’t working doesn’t mean that the mice can’t be caught at all. It means that the traps aren’t placed properly. In order to catch the mice, your pest control company needs to know exactly where they are nesting.
Once you have figured out where they are nesting, you want to bait and trap near those locations, otherwise, they won’t be caught. Some common places for mice to make their nests can be near pipes. They like to make their way into the gaps between where the pipes and walls meet.
Many times in medical facilities and nursing homes, the gaps around these pipes aren’t sealed as well and that’s how the mice are making their way around the entire facility. It may be a good idea to work with your facility manager alongside your pest control company to fill in any holes and gaps to keep the mice from making their way in.
So the big takeaway here is that traps are very capable of working, but the placement is key. Once you place your traps right, you can very well take care of your mouse problem. You are not helpless. Just because you haven’t found success doesn’t mean you can’t.
Why Isn’t My Current Pest Control Company Catching Anything?
Pest control is often necessary when dealing with a mouse problem within a nursing home or medical facility. Your facilities are big and it can be hard to determine where exactly to place the traps if you aren’t familiar with the nesting habits of mice, and given the size of your facility, you can waste A LOT of money on pest control efforts that aren’t worth their fee – really fast!
So, what if you already have a pest control company that you are working with and you aren’t catching any mice but you know you have a problem? Short answer – you need a new pest control company.
Long answer, that company may not have the best plan set in place for catching your rodents and it may be time for you to change pest control companies. Don’t feel like you and your patients have to live with a mouse problem. We can find a solution for you.
