About Mice Ate My
We started with a simple idea: people dealing with a mouse problem deserve honest information and a direct connection to someone local who can actually fix it.
What we do
Mice Ate My is a pest control resource built for homeowners. We write in-depth guides on identifying, managing, and preventing rodent problems — and we connect people who need professional help with locally owned pest control businesses in their area.
We don't work with national chains. Every business we refer is independently owned and operated, with real people answering the phone and real accountability to their community.
Why local
A local operator knows the pest pressures in their specific area — the drainage ditch two blocks over, the field that gets harvested every October, the housing stock that was built in the 1960s with gaps that mice have known about for decades. That context matters.
It also means when something isn't right, you can talk to the owner directly. That's the standard we hold our partners to.
Our partners
We work with one pest control business per area — exclusively. When a call comes in, it goes to one partner, not a pool of competing contractors. That means faster response, no confusion, and a relationship built on consistent referrals rather than a race to the bottom on price.
We look for businesses that are locally owned, properly licensed, and genuinely good at what they do. Quality and integrity aren't marketing language for us — they're the filter.
