The Problem

Rodents Are More Than a Nuisance

Southeast Wisconsin's cold winters drive mice and rats into homes every fall, and once they're inside, they multiply fast. A single pair of mice can produce up to 60 offspring in a year. By the time you're seeing one mouse in your kitchen, there are likely many more behind your walls.

Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime. Rats only need a gap the size of a quarter. Common entry points include gaps around utility lines, exterior mechanicals, foundation cracks, and damaged soffit or fascia. These are the exact areas we target during our exclusion work.

Rodent problems don't resolve on their own, and store-bought traps rarely address the root issue. Professional control combines sealing entry points, strategic baiting, and ongoing monitoring to stop the cycle for good.

Know the Signs
How to Tell If You Have Rodents

Rodents are nocturnal and good at staying hidden. Look for these telltale signs around your home.

Droppings

Small, dark pellets along baseboards, in cabinets, or near food storage. Mouse droppings are about 1/4 inch with pointed ends. Rat droppings are larger with blunt ends.

Scratching Sounds

Rustling, gnawing, or scratching noises in walls, ceilings, or under floors, especially at night when rodents are most active.

Gnaw Marks

Chew damage on food packaging, cardboard boxes, wood, or plastic. Rodents gnaw constantly to keep their teeth filed down.

Grease Marks

Dark, oily smudge marks along walls and baseboards where rodents travel the same paths repeatedly. Known as "rub marks" from their body oils.

Nesting Material

Shredded paper, fabric, insulation, or plant material gathered in hidden areas like behind appliances, inside wall voids, or in storage boxes.

Musty Odor

A stale, ammonia-like smell in enclosed spaces like cabinets, closets, or utility rooms. This comes from rodent urine and is often the first sign in low-traffic areas.

Why It Matters
Rodents Pose Real Risks to Your Family

Beyond being a nuisance, mice and rats create health and safety hazards that make professional control important.

Disease Transmission

Mice and rats carry salmonella, hantavirus, and other pathogens that spread through droppings, urine, and saliva. They contaminate food and kitchen surfaces.

Fire Hazards

Rodents gnaw on electrical wiring inside walls. Exposed or damaged wiring is one of the leading causes of unexplained house fires.

Allergens & Asthma

Rodent droppings and dander are recognized allergens and asthma triggers. This is especially concerning for households with young children.

Our 3-Part System
How Fiore Handles Rodent Control

We use a proven combination of exclusion, baiting, and monitoring to address rodent problems at their source.

1

Minor Exclusionary Work

We seal openings around utility lines and exterior mechanicals — copper mesh for larger gaps, putty for smaller openings — to block the entry points rodents use to get inside your home.

2

Rodenticide Baiting

Strategically placed bait stations target active rodent populations. Placement is based on identified travel routes and activity areas found during inspection.

3

Ongoing Monitoring

We track activity levels and adjust as needed. Monitoring ensures the problem is truly resolved and catches any new activity before it becomes a re-infestation.

Note: Our exclusion work covers minor exterior sealing around utility lines and mechanicals. If a larger structural issue is identified (damaged siding, significant foundation gaps, etc.), we'll recommend the appropriate contractor for those repairs.
The Right Approach
DIY vs. Professional Rodent Control

Store-bought products catch individual mice but don't solve the underlying problem.

DIY Approach

Traps catch one mouse at a time but don't address the colony

Entry points remain open, allowing new rodents to replace the ones caught

Improperly placed bait can pose risks to children, pets, and wildlife

No monitoring means you can't tell if the problem is actually resolved

Professional Approach

Entry points sealed to stop new rodents from getting in

Strategic bait placement based on inspection of travel routes

Safe, tamper-resistant stations that protect children and pets

Ongoing monitoring catches new activity before it becomes a problem

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions

Common signs include droppings (small, dark pellets about 1/4 inch for mice or 1/2 inch for rats), gnaw marks on food packaging or wood, scratching or rustling sounds in walls or ceilings (especially at night), grease marks along baseboards, nesting material like shredded paper or fabric, and a musty odor in enclosed spaces. If you notice any of these signs, contact a professional promptly since rodent populations grow quickly.
Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime, and rats through gaps the size of a quarter. Common entry points include gaps around utility lines and pipes entering the home, cracks in foundations, openings around exterior mechanical equipment, gaps under doors, and damaged soffit or fascia. Fall and winter are peak seasons as rodents seek warmth and food indoors.
Yes. Rodents carry diseases including salmonella and hantavirus that can spread through their droppings, urine, and saliva. They contaminate food and food preparation surfaces. Rodents also create fire hazards by gnawing on electrical wiring, and their droppings and dander are known allergens and asthma triggers, particularly concerning for households with children.
Our rodent control includes three components: minor exclusionary work (sealing openings around utility lines and mechanicals on the exterior using copper mesh for larger gaps and putty for smaller openings), rodenticide baiting (strategically placed bait stations), and ongoing monitoring to track activity and adjust as needed. For larger structural issues, we recommend contacting an appropriate contractor.
Store-bought products address individual rodents but not the conditions causing the infestation. Without identifying and sealing entry points, new rodents replace the ones you remove. Improperly placed rodenticides can also pose risks to children, pets, and non-target wildlife. Professional service combines exclusion, targeted baiting, and monitoring for a comprehensive, safer approach.
