Rodent Control in Fishers, Indiana

Fishers started as a railroad stop called Fishers Switch in 1872 and stayed mostly rural for about a hundred years. Then it grew fast, and by the 2020 census it had close to 99,000 people. It sits in the southeast corner of Hamilton County along the White River, near Conner Prairie, and the city counts more than 131 miles of trails and greenways.

Lots of green space between subdivisions means lots of field mice and voles living right next to the houses. Calls from Fishers lean toward field mice in garages and voles in lawns, plus house mice once they're inside.

Subdivisions Next to Fields and Woods

Many Fishers neighborhoods back onto woods, ponds or land that hasn't been built on yet. When the weather turns, the mice that lived out there all summer look for shelter, and the closest garage wins. Seal the garage door, keep seed and pet food in metal bins, and set a few traps along the garage walls in October.

Crawl Spaces

Plenty of Fishers homes sit over a crawl space. Torn vent screens and a loose access door give mice a way in, and the crawl space gives them a quiet place to nest under the floor. Check the vents from outside each fall. If you smell something musty, have someone look. Crawl space cleanup handles the mess afterward.
