Nassau County, Nassau County Rat Control Situation:
I live in Nassau County Long Island and I have been battling a problem with mice getting into my walls and attic off and on for two years. I know the rodents are mice because I have caught several of them in the outside "glue" traps. They are not getting inside my house and I never seen any evidence in cabinets, food etc. So there is no need to explore that anymore. They are just in my walls and attic. I have worked with Terminix, Orkin, Stevens Pest Control, Critter of Long Island. None of these so called "Professionals" have been able to solve the problem but they took my money. Not to mention the numerous things I have tried on my own to solve this problem. I have sealed up all the weep holes with steel wool and several areas around the front of the house where I hear them enter the house every night. I need help desperately trying to find out how the mice are still getting in the house. This is what I need. 1) Contractor who can help find the opening where they are still getting in and seal it up. 2) Contractor who can help get the mice out of my walls 3) Contractor who can help clean up the attic from the rodent residue 4) Contractor who can assess any damage done to insulation, walls, etc. Can you help recommend someone who can honestly and professionally help me with the steps to get rid of this rodent problem? I want to put my house on the market for sale but I need to take care of this problem first.
