Q: How do you keep mice away permanently?

• <div><p>While keeping any critter away permanently isn&rsquo;t always possible, you can keep mice away from your home by setting traps, fumigating your space, and sealing known entry points. Once you&rsquo;ve taken these steps, take time to work on prevention measures, such as clearing out all clutter and recyclables and removing all food sources.</p></div>

Q: How long does a professional flea treatment typically last?

• <div><p>Professional treatments can be immediate but may require follow-up for complete effectiveness, lasting several weeks.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs of a bed bug infestation?

• <div><p>Red bite marks, blood spots on sheets, and small brown fecal stains near sleeping areas are common signs.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell how many mice you have?

• <div><p>There is no exact science here, due to the nature of nests and how mice raise their young, but a good place to start is to inspect the droppings. A single mouse poops a lot, leaving around 50 droppings in a single day, likely near a primary food source. If you find only sporadic droppings, you likely have a small infestation. If you spot large mounds of droppings, you are dealing with a big problem.</p></div>

Liberty Lake is a beacon of beauty to residents across the Idaho border. Here in this wondrous town we are able to enjoy all of the luxuries of the Spokane Valley, and we all feel a sense of community in our tight-knit neighborhoods. Unfortunately, pests in this area seem to share the same sense of camaraderie, and tend to band together when infesting the walls of your home. But whether they reside on the beautiful MeadowWood Golf Course, within the halls of Liberty Lake Elementary, or deep within the foundation of your house, here at Pointe Pest Control we are dedicated to ridding them from our quaint town so we can all prosper together in our pest-free life.
