I had a major mouse problem at one of the buildings.
First...the manager of the building kept wanting to deal with it himself, and kept asking the pest control company for more sticky traps. More, more more.
So I get involved, and go in and check one of the affected units. Holy shit, his kitchen cupboards were like the stone hedge of sticky traps, and he asks "do I need more?"
No buddy, you're good.
Literally, he had 50 to 75 of the things in the cupboards, along the baseboards and everywhere in between.
We invested in exterior bait traps around the building, one on every exterior wall.
Problem. Solved. With our existing pest control contract, they were $75 each, and monitoring covered on our contract.
I don't like the idea of chasing them down indoors. I had another building where the owner tried to solve it by mechanical means...filling holes and such. I charged out $1000's in making templates and patches around pipes and such, and all we did is chase them from apartment to apartment.
I like solving these types of problems before they even enter the interior.
