Will Pest Control Get Rid of Mice?
Mice infestations are a serious concern for both homes and businesses. They breed quickly, damage property, and pose health risks, especially in kitchens, pantries, and storage areas. Store-bought traps or DIY methods may offer short-term relief, but they rarely solve the problem for good. That’s where professional help becomes crucial. At Iconic Pest Solutions, we use eco-friendly treatments and provide rapid response across Sydney, ensuring mice are removed safely and future infestations are prevented through thorough inspection and targeted control methods.
Why Mice Are a Serious Problem
- Health Risks: Mice can transmit diseases such as salmonella, leptospirosis, and hantavirus through their droppings, urine, and saliva.
- Property Damage: Mice are constant gnawers. They chew on wires, insulation, wood, plastic, and even concrete—posing fire risks and structural concerns.
- Rapid Reproduction: A single pair of mice can produce dozens of offspring within a year. What starts as a minor issue can turn into a full infestation in a matter of weeks.
- Contamination: Pantries, kitchens, and storage areas can become contaminated quickly, putting food safety at risk.
The longer a mouse problem is left untreated, the harder it becomes to resolve. That’s where professional pest control plays a key role.
Can Pest Control Get Rid of Mice?
Inspection and Identification
At Iconic Pest Solutions, our pest control technicians use a multi-step process to ensure complete mouse removal. Every job starts with a detailed inspection. Our technicians look for:
- Signs of activity (droppings, gnaw marks, nesting materials)
- Entry points (cracks in foundations, gaps under doors, roof voids)
- Nesting areas (wall cavities, garages, roof spaces)
We assess the extent of the infestation and determine how mice are gaining access to your property.
Eco-Friendly Treatments and Traps
- Snap traps in tamper-proof boxes
- Humane catch-and-release traps
- Bait stations where needed, with rodenticides placed out of reach of pets and children
Our treatments are designed to be safe for your family, pets, and the environment while still delivering fast and effective results.
Exclusion and Proofing
Getting rid of mice isn’t just about removal—it’s about prevention. We seal up all known and potential entry points using:
- Steel mesh
- Sealants and foams
- Door sweeps and vent covers
This exclusion process ensures mice can’t return once removed.

Why DIY Mouse Control Often Fails
DIY traps and gadgets may seem like a quick fix, but they rarely solve the root problem. They don’t stop mice from coming back, often miss hidden nests, and are often placed without expert knowledge. Over time, repeated efforts cost more with little success. Professional pest control provides a long-term solution that’s safer, faster, and far more effective.
How to Prevent Mice from Returning
Residential vs. Commercial Mouse Control
- Residential Pest Control: Mice in homes are often found in kitchens, garages, and roof voids. We focus on discreet, non-intrusive treatments that are safe for families and pets.
- Commercial Pest Control: In businesses—especially those in food service, healthcare, or retail—mice can quickly damage reputations and result in regulatory issues. Our commercial pest control plans include:
- Scheduled inspections
Detailed reports for compliance
Discreet treatment plans to avoid disruptions
We’ll work with you to develop a pest management plan that meets your industry’s requirements.
