Desert mice are common throughout Cave Creek, especially in neighborhoods near open desert, washes, and natural rock formations. These small rodents can invade garages, sheds, patios, and even homes, causing contamination, chewing damage, and nighttime activity. Local Choice Pest & Landscape Nutrition provides professional, humane, and highly effective desert mouse control designed specifically for Cave Creek’s desert environment.

We protect your home while respecting the desert ecosystem.

Desert mice — including cactus mice, deer mice, and other native species — are small, agile rodents that thrive in Cave Creek’s rugged terrain. They commonly nest in:

• Garages
• Sheds
• Attics
• Block walls
• Rock beds
• Storage areas
• Under patios and decks

While small, they can cause big problems, including:

• Chewed wiring
• Contaminated food and surfaces
• Droppings and urine odors
• Noisy nighttime activity
• Nesting in insulation or stored items

Some species can also carry diseases, making professional control essential.

You may have desert mice if you notice:

• Small droppings in garages or storage areas
• Chewed bags, boxes, or wiring
• Nesting material (shredded paper, insulation, fabric)
• Noises in walls or ceilings at night
• Tracks or tail marks in dusty areas
• Pet food disappearing overnight

If you see one mouse, there are usually many more nearby.

We identify:

• Entry points
• Nesting zones
• Food and water sources
• Attic or garage activity
• Landscaping risks
• Block‑wall vulnerabilities

This allows us to create a precise removal plan.

We use professional‑grade, humane methods that:

• Remove active mice
• Prevent re‑infestation
• Protect pets and non‑target wildlife
• Comply with Arizona wildlife guidelines

Our approach eliminates the entire population — not just the visible activity.

Desert mice can squeeze through openings as small as ¼ inch.
We seal:

• Foundation gaps
• Garage door openings
• Utility penetrations
• Attic access points
• Block‑wall holes
• Gaps around AC lines and plumbing

Exclusion is the most important step for long‑term protection.

For homes with heavy activity, we offer:

• Nest removal
• Sanitation and odor control
• Insulation spot‑treatment
• Contaminated material cleanup

This restores cleanliness and prevents future nesting.

We help keep desert mice away with:

• Seasonal monitoring
• Landscaping recommendations
• Harborage reduction
• Ongoing exterior protection

We live here. We understand the rodent issues here. We protect homes here.
