Mice and vole control for Valentine and Cherry County — trapping plus entry sealing so they stay out. Pet-conscious methods.
1. Inspect. We find droppings, rub marks, and every entry point — a mouse needs only a dime-sized hole. 2. Trap. Secured snap stations inside, placed where pets and kids cannot reach. 3. Exclude. Steel wool, sealant, door sweeps, and vent covers at every entry we found. 4. Verify. We recheck and confirm activity has stopped.
Voles carve runways through Sandhills lawns and chew bark off young trees in winter. We place targeted exterior stations and advise on habitat reduction — mowing tight along foundations and clearing mulch volcanoes around trees.
When Sandhills temperatures drop, mice and voles move toward warmth and food. A mouse fits through a hole the size of a dime — around utility lines, dryer vents, and garage doors are the classic entries in Valentine homes.
Trapping removes the mice already inside, but without sealing entry points new ones arrive within weeks. Lasting rodent control is trapping plus exclusion: steel wool and sealant at entries, door sweeps, and vent covers.
We avoid loose rodenticides inside homes with pets. Our approach is snap trapping in secured stations plus exclusion, and any exterior bait stations used are tamper-resistant and placed away from pet areas.
Inspection plus initial trapping and sealing of common entries typically runs $200–$450 for a Valentine home. Larger exclusions on older farmhouses are quoted per job after inspection.
Yes. Voles are a constant in Sandhills lawns. We use targeted exterior bait stations and habitat reduction along foundations and garden beds.
