I am more than a tad suspicious that this is just a tactic to sell me a service I probably don't need. I would assume that since this is Florida, there are always, and always have been, rodents in the area. We have seen nothing in our home or yard to suggest we have a rodent problem.
I would be interested in others' experience with rodents, rodent problems, and Massey's approach to this.
BTW, if it matters, I live in Poinciana, a neighborhood approaching 20 years old, so we aren't near the newer and more recently disturbed areas.

IMAGINE HUMANS have been trying to kill off rodents-mice and rats, like forever. Traps etc interesting to look up all the engineering marvels. They are amazing. A mouse can get through a crack less than 1/4 of an inch. Way back, we lived in an apartment. They outlawed the old system where buildings would burn their trash. Mice went NUTS. You would see or think you see something. Mice are far smaller than Mickey. I would buy those snap traps. I would bill them off my rent with the receipt. I would put out three traps and they would have a mouse in each. We would talk to the super and get excuses. I increased the number of traps to six. It was not unusual to get six mice. Fourteen is my lucky number. I put out 14 traps and got 13 mice which I dropped outside the the supers door, We have none here. Based on experience. Cheese
is only good in cartoons. Bacon works but mice are skilled at taking it without getting caught.
Peanut butter is cheaper and works best. For those who love animals. Do they think glue traps or drowning traps are more humane? Look for any gaps in molding and stuff steel wool into them.
