Mice Exterminator
in Southeast Michigan
Two mice become 1,500 in a year. By the time you hear scratching, the infestation is already established. Hi-Tech eliminates the entire population — not one trap at a time. Since 1986.
Mice Exterminator in Michigan — Complete Population Elimination
Mice are not accidental intruders — they are intentional indoor pests once conditions allow it. Michigan's cold winters drive mice into homes in large numbers each fall, where they find warmth, food, and nesting materials inside your walls, attic, and basement. Once established, they breed year-round.
Hi-Tech Pest Control eliminates the entire mouse population — not just the ones you can see. We use professional-grade methods that reach mice in wall voids, ceiling cavities, and insulation where traps never go. Then we identify and seal every entry point so the problem doesn't return.

A mouse can squeeze through a gap as small as a dime — the width of a pencil. Michigan's older housing stock, freeze-thaw foundation cracks, utility penetrations, and attached garages create dozens of entry points in most homes. Once cold weather arrives in October, mice actively seek any available entry. Hi-Tech identifies and eliminates every access point after the population is gone.
Warning Signs You Have Mice in Your Michigan Home
Mice are active mostly at night and stay hidden. By the time most Michigan homeowners notice these signs, the infestation is already well-established.
🔊 Scratching in Walls or Ceiling
The most common first sign. Scratching, scurrying, or gnawing sounds — especially at night. This is active mouse movement inside your walls or ceiling voids. Insects do not scratch. If you hear it, it's mice.
💩 Droppings in Cabinets or Pantries
Small dark droppings (like rice grains) in kitchen cabinets, pantry shelves, drawers, or along baseboards. Multiple droppings in one area indicate regular traffic — a nesting site is nearby.
🔦 Gnaw Marks on Food Packaging
Chewed corners on cereal boxes, bags, or food containers in your pantry or cabinets. Mice gnaw through packaging to access food — and contaminate everything they touch with urine and droppings.
🏠 Grease Marks Along Walls
Dark smudge marks along baseboards and walls where mice travel their established routes. Mice have poor eyesight and follow the same paths repeatedly, leaving grease and dirt from their fur.
🪹 Nesting Materials
Shredded paper, fabric, insulation, or plant material gathered into a ball in a hidden corner — inside a cabinet, behind appliances, in a basement, or inside wall insulation. This is a confirmed nesting site.
👃 Ammonia Odor
A sharp, musky ammonia smell — especially in enclosed areas like cabinets, closets, and basement corners — from mouse urine accumulation. This odor means a significant and active infestation is present.
Why Mice Are Dangerous to Michigan Families — Not Just a Nuisance
Mice contaminate far more than they consume. A single mouse produces 40–100 droppings per day and deposits urine constantly as it moves through your home. The health and property risks are serious.
Disease Transmission
Mice carry hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis. Droppings, urine, and nesting materials are infectious — even after mice are gone. Breathing dried droppings dust is a known hantavirus transmission route.
Allergies & Asthma
Mouse dander and droppings are a leading trigger for allergic reactions and asthma attacks — especially in children. Insulation contaminated with mouse waste must be replaced to eliminate this risk.
Electrical Fire Risk
Mice constantly gnaw — including on electrical wiring. Chewed wiring inside walls is a leading cause of house fires. The NFPA estimates rodents cause 8% of all house fires in the U.S. each year.
Structural Damage
Mice gnaw through drywall, insulation, wood framing, HVAC ducts, and plumbing insulation. The longer they're present, the greater the structural damage — and the higher the repair costs.
Why Traps and Store Sprays Don't Solve Michigan Mouse Infestations
❌ Traps, Poisons & DIY
- Traps catch individual mice — not the colony
- Remaining mice become trap-shy immediately
- Nesting population in walls continues breeding
- Store poisons don't reach mice in hidden voids
- Entry points left open — new mice replace old
- No population assessment — don't know what you're dealing with
- Activity seems to slow, then surges again in weeks
✅ Hi-Tech Pest Control
- Population-level treatment reaches all mice
- Targets hidden mice in walls, ceilings, insulation
- Eliminates entire infestation — not just surface mice
- Entry point inspection after population is gone
- All access points sealed so new mice can't enter
- 40+ years Michigan rodent control experience
- Safe, pet-friendly methods with clear guidance
The most important rule: eliminate first, seal second. Sealing entry points while mice are still inside traps them — they chew new holes through walls, drywall, and wiring. Hi-Tech eliminates the population completely before any sealing begins.

What Michigan Homeowners Say About Hi-Tech
"I heard scratching for two months, set traps, caught a few, and then heard it again. Called Hi-Tech and they found nesting in three places I never would have found. No scratching at all since treatment. Should have called month one."
"Called on a Thursday evening, they came Friday morning. Found entry points in the garage foundation and under the front door that I had no idea about. Sealed everything after treatment and the problem has been completely gone since."
"Had mice in my rental property two winters in a row. Hi-Tech found that the previous exterminator had sealed some gaps but missed others. They eliminated the mice first, then sealed every entry point. No return calls from tenants all winter."
Mice Control Questions — Michigan Homeowners Ask Us Most
I saw one mouse in my home — should I be concerned?
Yes — immediately. Mice are nocturnal and secretive. Seeing one means many more are hiding in your walls, ceiling voids, and basement. By the time you spot activity, the infestation is typically already established. Call us the same day you see signs.
How fast do mice multiply in Michigan homes?
Extremely fast. A single female produces 5–10 litters per year with 6–8 pups each. Two mice can produce over 1,500 descendants in one year. Michigan's heated homes provide year-round breeding conditions once mice are inside.
Why do mice keep coming back after I set traps?
Traps catch individual mice — not the infestation. The colony inside your walls continues breeding. Remaining mice become trap-shy after initial captures. Professional treatment addresses the entire population in hidden areas where traps never go.
Should I seal my home before or after mice extermination?
Always eliminate mice FIRST, then seal. Sealing entry points while mice are inside traps them — they chew new holes through drywall, insulation, and wiring. Hi-Tech eliminates the full population first, then inspects and seals all entry points.
Are mice dangerous to my family?
Yes. Mice spread hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis through droppings, urine, and nesting material. Their droppings trigger allergic reactions and asthma attacks. Gnawed wiring is a leading cause of house fires. The longer they're present, the greater the health and property risk.
When are mice most active in Michigan?
Mice seek warmth as temperatures drop each fall — most Michigan infestations begin October through December. But indoor mice stay active and breed year-round in heated homes. Winter is the most critical time to act because the entire population is concentrated indoors.
How much does mice extermination cost in Michigan?
Mice control ranges from $200–$700+ depending on infestation severity and home size. Most Michigan residential infestations fall in the $300–$450 range. Free inspection, transparent quotes, no hidden fees. Call 248-569-8001.

1. Signs of Mice in Your Home
Mice are nocturnal and secretive. By the time homeowners notice activity, mice have often been present for months.
Common signs include:
- scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings
- droppings in kitchens, pantries, basements, or garages
- gnawed food packaging, wires, or wood
- strong ammonia-like odors
- grease marks along walls or baseboards
If you hear scratching, that is active movement, not insects. Insects do not scratch — mice do.
3. Why Traps Alone Don’t Work
Traps are designed to catch individual mice, not eliminate infestations.
Why traps fail:
- they remove one mouse at a time
- remaining mice avoid traps after initial captures
- nests and breeding populations remain untouched
- activity continues even when traps seem “busy”
Traps may confirm activity — but they rarely solve the problem.
4. Our Professional Mice Control Process
Effective mice control requires population elimination and prevention, not guesswork.
Our process includes:
- identifying active nesting and travel routes
- locating entry points and pressure zones
- eliminating active populations using professional-grade methods
- reducing conditions that allow re-infestation
We focus on solving the infestation at its source, not just reacting to sightings.
5. Rodenticide vs. Traps: What Actually Works
There is a difference between control and elimination.
Rodenticides (professionally applied):
- address entire populations
- work continuously, not one mouse at a time
- reach hidden mice in wall voids and ceilings
- eliminate activity faster and more completely
Traps:
- limited to exposed mice
- labor-intensive and slow
- often leave most of the infestation behind
Odor concerns are common, but in reality:
- mice are small with low moisture content
- natural decomposition already occurs in active infestations
- most homes already have odor from ongoing mouse activity
Professional rodent extermination stops the problem — delaying treatment makes odors worse, not better.
8. Schedule Professional Mice Control
If you’re hearing scratching, seeing droppings, or dealing with recurring mouse activity, the infestation will not resolve on its own.

✅ Residential & Commercial
✅ Inspection-Driven Solutions
✅ Long-Term Results
Stop the infestation before it grows — and before the damage gets worse. We provide professional mice control and rodent extermination for homes and commercial properties in Livonia, Southfield, Troy, and surrounding areas.
Winter Is the Most Critical Time
During Michigan’s cold months, mice seek warmth and shelter inside homes, garages, and basements.
The colder it gets outside, the more urgent it becomes to act immediately. Winter infestations grow quickly — and left untreated, they can lead to structural damage and food contamination.
First Order of Business: Eliminate All Mice
Many homeowners think they should first “seal up the house” to keep mice out. But if mice are already inside, sealing entry points only traps them in — making the problem worse.
That’s why Hi-Tech Pest Control’s proven system begins with:
- Total Elimination of All Mice — using targeted baiting and control strategies.
- Inspection of Entry Points — after the infestation is eradicated.
- Sealing & Prevention Work — once the home is verified mouse-free.
You can’t keep them out until every last one is gone.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: I saw one mouse. Should I be concerned?
A: Yes. Seeing one mouse means many more are hiding. Mice reproduce rapidly and nest nearby food and warmth.
Q2: How long does it take to get rid of mice?
A: Most infestations are eliminated within one treatment, but larger infestations may require follow-up monitoring to ensure all mice are gone.
Q3: Should I seal entry points before extermination?
A: No. First eliminate all mice. Sealing too early can trap them inside and make the problem worse.
Q4: Are mice dangerous?
A: Yes. They contaminate food, spread diseases, and their droppings can cause respiratory problems.
Q5: What makes Hi-Tech Pest Control different?
A: Experience. Our technicians have decades of success eradicating mice completely and preventing reinfestation — guaranteed.
