Mice in Walls in Caldwell – Fast, Professional Solutions
Light scratching, scurrying, or chewing sounds inside your walls are often the first warning sign of a hidden mouse problem. Wall voids give mice protected pathways to travel through a home without being seen, allowing infestations to grow unnoticed.
Pestcom provides professional services for mice in walls in Caldwell, including thorough inspections, targeted removal, and long-term prevention designed to keep rodents out for good.
What We See in Caldwell Homes
Caldwell’s location near farmland, irrigation canals, and open rural property creates steady rodent pressure throughout the year. When temperatures drop in the fall and winter, mice commonly move indoors and begin using wall spaces to travel between attics, kitchens, and garages.
Homes near Indian Creek, Ustick Road, rural Canyon County, and neighborhoods bordering fields or canal systems often experience higher levels of wall rodent activity. Both older homes with small settling gaps and newer construction with unsealed penetrations can be vulnerable.
Common Signs of Mice in Walls
- Soft scratching or scurrying noises at night
- Chewing sounds behind drywall
- Droppings in garages, basements, or cupboards
- Unusual musty odors from wall spaces
- Grease marks near baseboards or entry points
- Pets focused on or pawing at walls
These signs usually indicate mice have already established travel routes inside the structure. Early professional treatment can stop the issue before it spreads further.

Why Mice in Walls Are a Serious Concern
Even though mice are small, they can create significant problems when living inside walls:
- Chewed electrical wiring that increases fire hazards
- Contamination from droppings and urine
- Damage to insulation and stored items
- Spread of bacteria, allergens, and parasites
- Unpleasant odors from nests or deceased rodents
A minor noise problem today can quickly become an expensive repair issue if ignored.
Our Caldwell Mice-in-Walls Removal Process
Removing mice from inside walls requires a professional, strategic approach. Pestcom’s proven process includes:
- Comprehensive interior and exterior inspection
- Identification of entry points and travel paths

Why DIY Methods Usually Fail
Over-the-counter traps and baits may catch a few mice, but they rarely solve the underlying problem. Without finding and sealing entry points, new mice will continue to move into your walls.
Professional inspection is the only reliable way to determine how mice are entering and how to stop them permanently.

Preventing Mice From Returning
After mice are removed, prevention is critical. Effective steps include:
- Sealing exterior gaps and structural openings
- Screening vents and utility penetrations
- Trimming vegetation away from the home
- Eliminating food sources around the property
- Ongoing exterior rodent monitoring
Pestcom helps Caldwell homeowners not only remove mice but keep them out long-term.
