The no-poison pledge.
Poison doesn’t stay put. It moves up the food chain to pets, owls and hawks, and it leaves the gaps open for the next mouse or roof rat. Take the pledge, share it, and seal for good. We review every application. Referrals cover a limited area for now.
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.
- Snap traps with sealingWooden snaps inside with sealing — no enclosure needed indoors. Outside traps must be enclosed and only with sealing.
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.
- Seal for goodFind the gaps and seal them with metal and other durable materials — 1/4-inch hardware cloth, exterior-grade metal, custom metal door sweeps. Never steel wool or foam as the fix.
- Snap traps with sealingWooden snaps inside the structure, used with sealing — no enclosure required indoors. Outside, traps must be enclosed and only used with sealing. Never ongoing trapping without sealing.
- Remove old bait stations when the homeowner asksBait stations at a home belong to the homeowner. When they ask for removal, we bag them and take them away.
- Multifamily sealed wholeApartments, condos and other multifamily buildings are sealed from the outside as a whole building, not unit by unit.
- A one-time inside cleanout onlyAfter the house is sealed, any mice still inside are caught once, inside. No ongoing trapping contracts.
