For exclusion pros
The no-poison pledge.
We refer homeowners to local pros who seal houses for good and never use poison. Referrals cover a limited area for now, and we review every application.
For route techs
Work a route? Take the tech pledge.
techs and pros have taken the no-poison pledge so far.
You don’t need to own a business to make a difference. If you work for a company and service stations every day, this lighter pledge is for you. No referrals and no listing, just a promise for your routes.
- Switch to non-toxic monitoring blocksOn my daily routes. They show where mice are active without poisoning anything.
- Recommend sealingPoint out the gaps mice use, and suggest sealing them for good with durable materials.
- No traps outside unless containedOnly enclosed traps, and only alongside sealing the home.
Why it matters
- Poison moves through the food chain. Pets and wildlife can take the bait, and owls, hawks and other animals that eat poisoned rodents can be poisoned too (NPIC, UC IPM).
- Bait leaves the gap open. It doesn’t close the opening mice came in through. Sealing does.
- Monitoring blocks still show activity. Non-toxic blocks show where mice are moving, without poisoning anything (Cornell IPM).
Every route that switches helps. Thank you for doing this work.
On every job.
- No poison, everNo rodenticides, inside or out, and no bait stations.
- No traps outside unless containedOnly enclosed traps, and only alongside sealing the home. Never a substitute for sealing.
- Seal for goodEntry points are sealed with metal and other durable materials, like 1/4-inch hardware cloth, exterior-grade metal and custom metal with EPDM rubber at doors.
- Never steel wool or foam as the fixThey are interior filler at most, and they aren’t rodent-proof.
- A one-time inside cleanout onlyAfter the house is sealed, any mice still inside are caught once, inside. No ongoing trapping contracts.
