A mouse is in the house and running amok in the attic requiring mice control removal services

A family could hear pitter patter of scratchy little feet running marathons in the attic. With children in the home was causing great anxiety and fear.

Especially because where there are mice rats are sure to follow.

A family of four were preparing to enjoy an evening of watching movies. The children were playing on the floor in front of the television while Mom set up the snack table. What's a movie without popcorn, candy and pop, right.

Movie starts and everyone snuggles in to enjoy the flick. The daughter kept seeing something flying across the floor but not curious enough to be alarmed. At least not until the mouse ran up the blanket on the vacant sofa. Then all heck broke loose with a piercing scream and the dad started chasing the pest. Chaos induced by one little rodent that created something even bigger...an infestation. Seeing the mouse confirmed what was heard in the attic. The scratching sounds and the sound of running. Dad had no doubt there were more up in the attic enjoying the new digs. The key now was to locate where the infestation was in the home. The one thing that crossed the mom's mind was the great fear of the children getting bit, eating bacteria infested food or airborne germs attacking the family. There are numerous diseases that are transmitted indirectly by rodents when a flea or tick bites an infected rodent and then turns around to bite a human.

Alright now. The homeowner did not want to have to deal with this yucky problem. Made up his mind to call in a Pest Exterminator to take care of the Mice Infestation.
