Frequently Asked Questions
How do mice differ from rats in Arcadia homes?
Mice are much smaller, reproduce faster, and can survive on tiny crumbs. While rats need water daily, mice can get moisture from food. This makes horse properties especially vulnerable.
Are mice dangerous on horse properties?
Yes, mice contaminate feed with droppings and urine, potentially spreading diseases to horses. They also damage leather tack and create fire hazards by chewing electrical wires in barns.
Why do estates have more mouse problems?
Large properties have multiple structures, each offering entry points. Pool houses, guest houses, and outdoor kitchens often go unchecked, allowing mouse populations to establish.
How quickly can you eliminate mice?
Most infestations show significant reduction within 3-7 days. Complete elimination typically takes 2-3 weeks, depending on property size and infestation severity.
Do you coordinate with our staff?
Yes, we regularly work with property managers, housekeepers, and stable staff to ensure comprehensive mouse control without disrupting estate operations.
