Re: Increased Pests/Mice anyone?
Eco labs pest control tech says vermin (what I call all mice and rats! da little buggahs!) can get into the TINYEST SPOTS you thought they never could.
Look under sink for any "holes", even the tinyest ones. The hole near the hot water inlet was less than the size of a quarter, but that was another place they were getting in here.
I figured they were attracted to the garbage left under the sink, and just chewed a hole in the wall. There have been problems in my building (we live in a 4 unit single story) and your neighbors can cause problems for you in these cases. I have been watching this show called "verminators" and most of the vermin and roach/ant problems in building are caused by one neighbor who does not practice good housecleaning. I know this is NOT ALWAYS THE CASE, because our house, like yours, in kept CLEAN.

We also have all candies and other "sweet stuff" that is not in the refrig in sandwich bags (hey I got a kid and I like candy too!!!!) and we have had no problems with ants in cabinets. All the activity seems to be near the kitchen.
Havent seen any more signs of mice at all since we caught theonly one we did see.
I can give you a suggestion, do not use POISION to catch/kill them, as they will climb back into where they came from a die, then STINK TO HIGH HEAVENS. Local kapunas (elders) told me to use GLUE TRAPS with a dot (about the size of a penny) of peanut butter in the MIDDLE OF TRAP to catch the buggah when he goes for a snack. I caught our mouse with a glue trap and NO PEANUT BUTTER (why attract MORE pests?).
I just picked the mouse up (still alive) still stuck on glue trap, and threw them BOTH into the trash.
Goodluck, I think it must be a "bad year" for pests, it is here on the North Shore. I have never had problems like I am now!
