Last year we bought a 30 year old home and our home inspector pointed out the house had signs of mice. Just the thought of that didn’t appeal to us but everything else about the house was right for us. Fortunately our home inspector gave us great information on how we could prevent the mice from getting in. That is when we met Rid-O-Mice who helped us protect our largest investment.
We had elongated weep holes… meaning the weepholes extended above and below the actual brick. We were able to purchase some spare stainless inserts and cut them to fill in the gaps created by the abnormal height of the weep holes. Not all were like this but some were and it worked perfect!! See Wes’s blog post with pictures here –
It seems like a couple of times each year I was battling with the odd mouse. I set traps along the outside walls and had to resort to poison where I noticed their beautiful brown pellets usually in the furnace room but also under our dishwasher. That seemed to work temporarily. A friend of mine in the pest control business told me about Rid-O-Mice so I asked him to come by and take care of it. Haven’t had any issues since.
The house is 12 years old and backs onto an open area. Because of where we live we have sealed (caulked and steel wool) all openings from day one. The basement is unfinished. In Aug we noticed a couple of areas in the basement at the back just above ground level had dead bugs in the insulation. They appeared to be coming from outside since there was nothing on the floor. In Sept we heard a mouse scratching in the attic and in the wall of the back bedroom, directly above where we saw the bugs coming in the basement. We also saw mouse droppings in the insulation in the basement were we had the dead bugs. We had (name protected) come out and put bait in the attic, basement floor and that area of the basement wall and after a few days all was quiet (and the droppings had changed from brown to green so the mouse ate the bait). They could not see where they would get in from the outside. Then a few weeks later there was scratching again and I saw a mouse in that same basement wall. Same scenario, baited and then it disappeared. Again a few weeks ago another mouse. I had a contractor come out and tear out all insulation from the back basement wall and exposed the brick in that area. It was clear that the bugs and mice were coming from a weep hole. He suggested that I order weep hole inserts which is why I am ordering your product.
I don’t have mice, just trying to prevent them. I have spiders and scorpions that get in though. Stopping them will be a good thing. I’m in a new build area and field mice have been pooping up with other houses as the contractors disturb their living areas. I think the foam insulation I have installed is helping but not to sure and want to minimize any issues before they get out of hand.
I discovered your company through lots of search late last night. Your youtube videos were the way I got interested in your products and then everything else was history form there on. Most solutions out there required the homeowner to place mesh in the weep holes which I know mice will destroy especially since they are capable of going through electrical lines. Even plastic covers were recommended which mice will go through as well as the Texas sun. Your product is the perfect simple solution for a potential disastrous problem.
I am happy for you to use my comments as testimonial, please however don’t use my name or address. If you need to use my details, happy for you to use Warren from Melbourne, Victoria.
Just wanted to let you know that we have received the package.
I have also installed the weep hole covers, Weep Hole Covers Australia, they are brilliant…
It’s a shame that we don’t have such a product here in Australia.
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and safe new year.
Was really skeptical about this working. Chatted with Rid-O-Mice late fall last year and was convinced to buy some. Found 2 more mice after installing the product, that were already inside the home and that was it! Wish I could get my 300 bucks back from the pest control dude that didn’t address these. Rid-O-Mice worked for us!
Thank you Rid-O-Mice!
I bought a bunch of them about a year ago and it is remarkable how well it works. I also bait poison traps outside to cull the population. Your invention is outstanding.
We are in Coastal NJ in a town, I’ll send you a Photo .
Couldn’t believe it……….. one of my neighbors filled his holes with plaster!
I’m all about doing it right the first time. I have a metal shingled roof, a composite Trex deck and an interlock stone entrance way. The lower the maintenance for me the better!
I hope some of my neighbors on ……. Place fill an order with you. Very reasonable for what these offer.
The most expensive part of this now is that I’m hiring a guy to come in and replace the insulation and vapor barrier next week to the tune of $300. But again……..has to be done!
We likely won’t need to. I’m building a house and installing these myself. My contractor had never heard of them and laughed at the idea of mice, roaches, stink bugs etc getting into the house through the weep holes. I have enjoyed watching the brick mason, electrician, and painters look at these once installed like a kid looks at ice cream. I think they’re great!
