This Mouse Damage Could Have Been Avoided

sep2

The home owner says Rid-O-Mice is an inexpensive solution compared to his renovation bill.

This beautiful brick home with fully finished basement didn’t see this $4000 plus damage coming. A mouse accessed the wall space via the weephole in this photo. Its possible the mouse frequented this spot for a long time, the owners don’t know as they recently purchased the home from the previous owner who was the builder, but what they do know is that it decided to chew on the plastic water line. (that’s right, it was not copper like many home owners are used to, rather it was plastic which professes to have many benefits over copper. I guess the manufacturers marketing department didn’t think about mice in their comparison material).

When it came time to spend $60 on weep hole covers their comment was – what a bargain, given the damage resulted in more than $4000 and a massive headache and inconvenience dealing with it.

    I thought it would be useful to you to know that, about 6-7 years ago, I had purchased from you several SS weep-hole barriers to prevent further mice intrusions into our brick-walled house. As you may remember, this was my last-resort method to do this, as I had recurrent problems each year with mice entering into the attic area principally, and some other areas within the house walls. I could not figure out where the entry points were, and it was a complete enigma to me even after consulting with several pest-control specialists. Points-of-entry via brick-wall weep holes had never even crossed my mind, and , had never even been suggested by those specialists. Until I saw your Web site!! It was like "AHAAAA" That's it!!!! In a nutshell: after installing the R-O-M barriers in all of the weep holes around the house, the mice-intrusion problem disappeared within days of their installation!! This problem has NEVER RECURRED SINCE!! Really effective & durable, and really, really worth it considering the lasting peace-of-mind it gives my wife & I!! Thanks again for your fine product!

    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.

    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!!

    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.
