Rodent Control Services in Wausau
One call to a local mouse exterminator covers the whole job, from the first droppings you find to the last gap that gets sealed.
Mouse Removal
Snap traps set along the walls where mice run, then checked and reset on each follow-up visit.
Mouse Exclusion
Every gap of 1/4 inch or more sealed with steel wool, copper mesh, metal or cement. This is the part that stops new mice getting in.
Mice in Walls and Attics
Mice are trapped first and the gaps sealed after, so none get shut inside a wall.
Rat Control
Norway rats need bigger traps and a different plan. Say you think it’s rats when you call.
Droppings and Nest Cleanup
Removal of droppings, nests and soiled insulation. We tell you up front if it’s part of your quote.

Mouse Exterminator in Wausau: What Happens When You Call
A good mouse exterminator does more than set traps. Here is the job from the first call to the last check.
Inspection and an entry-point map
The pro checks kitchens, basements, attics, garages and crawl spaces, then the foundation, sill plate, vents and pipe gaps outside. You get a list of where mice are active and where they get in.
Your price and plan, in writing
You see what will be sealed, how many visits are planned and the total price. Nothing starts until you say yes.
Sealing and trapping
Gaps are closed with materials mice can’t chew through. Traps go where mice travel. If bait is used, it goes in locked, tamper-resistant stations.
Follow-up visits
Traps are checked, new activity is tracked and any new gap is sealed. Most homes need more than one visit.
Keep-them-out advice
Simple steps for your side, like sealed bins for bird seed and pet food, and firewood stacked away from the house.

Mice in Wausau Homes: The Basics
Mice move in early here. Wausau’s October nights average about 37 °F and November nights about 25 °F, according to the UW State Climatology Office, so the fall rush starts in September and October. The CDC says a mouse can squeeze through a gap of just 1/4 inch, which is why sealing matters as much as trapping.
Watch for small dark droppings with pointed ends, scratching in walls or ceilings at night, chewed food boxes and nests of shredded paper near the furnace. Mice rarely go more than about 50 feet from their nest, so one in the kitchen usually means a nest nearby.
Cleaning Up Droppings
Don’t sweep or vacuum them. The CDC advises airing the room out, wearing gloves and soaking droppings with a bleach solution before wiping them up.
Mice Removal in Wausau: DIY or Call a Pro?
One mouse in the garage in November? A few snap traps and sealing the gap you find may be enough. Call for professional mice removal when any of these sound familiar:
- You find droppings in more than one room
- You hear mice in the walls, ceiling or attic
- Traps keep catching mice after a week or two
- You live in a duplex or apartment with shared walls
- Someone at home has asthma or a weak immune system
- You run a restaurant, shop or food business
- You smell a dead mouse inside a wall
Is It Worth Getting an Exterminator for Mice?
Usually, once mice are breeding. University of Nebraska Extension says one female can have 5 to 10 litters a year, so a small problem grows fast. A pro also finds the gaps you can’t see from the ground, like the sill plate, soffits and roof vents.
Should You Call for One Mouse?
Where there’s one mouse, there are usually more. If one trap catches one mouse and nothing follows for two weeks, you may be fine. If not, it’s time to call a mouse exterminator.
Same call for homes, rentals and businesses.
What Affects the Price of Mouse Control
Prices aren’t listed here because every job is different. We quote after the inspection, based on:
- How many mice there are and how long it’s been going on
- How many gaps need sealing, and how high up they are
- The size and age of the home or building
- How many follow-up visits are needed
- Mice or rats
- Whether cleanup of droppings and insulation is included
Ask Before You Book
- Which entry points did you find?
- What will you seal them with?
- Is sealing included in the price?
- How many visits are included?
- What happens if mice come back?

How much does mouse control cost in Wausau?
It depends on how many mice there are, how many gaps need sealing and how many visits it takes. We quote after an inspection. You get the full price in writing, including sealing, follow-up visits and cleanup.
Do exterminators seal holes for mice?
Good ones do, and it’s the part that makes the results last. Before you book, we tell you what sealing includes, which materials we use, and whether it’s priced separately from trapping.
How long does it take to get rid of mice?
It depends on how big the problem is and how many ways in there are. Expect more than one visit: trapping first, then sealing, then follow-up checks until there’s no new activity.
Will an exterminator clean up mouse droppings?
Some do and some don’t. Removing droppings, nests and soiled insulation is often a separate job, so ask when you call.
How do I prepare for a mouse exterminator visit?
Clear space under the sinks and in the pantry, note where you’ve seen droppings or heard noises, and keep pets away from the work areas. Leave the droppings in place: they show the pro where mice are most active.
Can you get rid of mice in winter?
Yes. Winter is when mice are inside, so trapping works well. Sealing can be done year-round too, and fixing the gaps now stops the next group in the spring thaw.
Do you handle rats too?
Yes. Norway rats live in Wisconsin, mostly around buildings, garbage and animal feed. Their droppings are much bigger than mouse droppings. Say you think it’s rats when you call, because the plan is different.
Do you help with mice in rentals and businesses?
Yes. Landlords and property managers can call about one unit or a whole building. Restaurants, shops, offices and warehouses can book one-time work or a regular plan.
Do you cover towns outside Wausau?
Yes. Calls cover Wausau and nearby Marathon County towns, including Rib Mountain, Weston, Schofield, Rothschild, Kronenwetter, Mosinee, Brokaw and Merrill. Not sure about your address? Call and ask.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Yes. Every technician we send is licensed by the State of Wisconsin and fully insured.
